My current meh about nostr is that there is no way to know if you have been seen. I believe there are clients that allow some sort of feedback other than a like or a zap. I would like a 3rd option, one that would allow an op to know that I gave my time to read their post but does not give the impression that I thought it was worth a like or being zapped.

Yea. That's another problem: I can't tell if anyone even saw it so I can tell if the post was disliked.
On Twitter I see if 20 people saw it and if no one liked it I assume I should do less of that.
I don't want to keep spamming people things they don't want to see 😅
I think with the “legacy” media they are geared toward creating systems of feedback that help creators “monetise” quicker. I think that the mind shift with Nostr is to truly lean into “you doing you.” Any sort of monetisation or signal via zaps is literally gold. Any signal you get then is trending towards pure. You can’t game it. You also can’t conclude that Nostr is an abyss because there were “no impressions.” People MUST be reading your notes but for whatever reason they decided no further action was needed. I am sure you already have figured this out, so, just keep doing you! 🤜
Thanks! Thats true. Like I said, still figuring it out. I think I like making challenges for myself, like draw/do something creative everyday. It really makes me appreciate the reactions I do get 😊
