How to get followers and engagement on nostr:

Make sure you post stuff jack, Derek etc want to repost.

I know it's similar on other social media, but at least there there's vast communities of 'taste makers' respected within certain fields/interests.

People who have specific/niche interests do stand out on nostr, but they tend to not last long cos there's not a community for them. People do like their posts and appreciate them but they are not getting the conversations they are actually looking for.

The yo-yo guy (I think he's gone) for example, but there have been many. Yeah he got appreciated, he stood out. (He wasn't even saying the price of bitcoin when it reached ATHs!! It's a pretty low bar lol). But he probably left for a forum or for Reddit or there's probably dozens of yo-yo people/community bubbles on twitter, or insta etc
