One of the big problems with nostr is, everyone is speaking in their own voids trying their best to be "picked up". This is not going to cut it for most people at all, no one else other than the crazy believers are going to be able to operate in an environment like this.

We need to be better with discovery, remember how @buzzbot worked for a bit? But it only worked on primal cause they're the only ones to have a trending zaps feed so upfront.

Discovery should be a BIG priority for social media client devs.

The only thing we have right now is repost

Yes and we don't repost as much as we should 😛

Yes because we are trained that accounts which repost a lot are spammy accounts on other platforms

Also doesn't help much because everyone reposts the same few people.

Probably true because we don't find the small accounts to repost. Chicken-egg issue really.

Meh. I find small accounts all the time.

👍

I, certainly, do not.

Or do I? I sure renote a lot of your stuff, Stella. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same, bro. You're one of my few people. 😂

That's too easy to fix. 😁

I don't care about being picked up but I do want to know that I'm using nostr properly before setting my sights on protocol issues again. What I love about this discussion is it's opening discussion on UX, tech, scaling, and retention. This could be a significant moment for Nostr.

It's definitely a UX issue, and it's veryuch solvable, we just need someone to put their backs into solving it.

I tried to solve it a little on pollerama by showing you what your contact list is reacting to, it's great, I personally find a lot of new people and posts this way.

Yeah finding people to follow in the beginning is the hardest part.

I almost gave up.

I was using one of the reply bots to find new people checking it's replies.

That's how I found people in the beginning.

That's actually sort of clever.

when you know that in that relay they talk about that topic or there are those people it's much easier

We just went with a community relay and build clients to showcase that relay. Then, discovery is joining the relay and basta.
