My main point is that I don't think Nostr is attracting people who don't live for Bitcoin and software development. Maybe I'm just not seeing these people. Although, I think I have the major relays added that new people would likely use.
Either way, telling me to create all the content isn't really a solution. We need more people to come here and post.
I don't see enough "genetic diversity" here to populate an entire ecosystem like the major centralized platforms. They all had marketing and features that attracted people to come post. I came to Nostr specifically through Bitcoin. Cool, but we need something else for all the other people. Something is missing. It could be that the tech is too new or unreliable. Maybe people just aren't ready for Nostr. Maybe we lack marketing. Either way, pretending that everything is fine right now (just post stuff, bro) doesn't seem productive to me.
It seems stagnant to me and I don't think posting about cigars or my other interests is going to magically fix that problem. Neither will looking at few pictures of flowers or some rando's plate of food (probably posted by Bitcoiners if I dug deeper). We don't seem to have a funnel for people to get here and stay. Bitcoiners seem to be the major on ramp, and that obviously limits Nostr to Bitcoin growth and adoption.
