theres so many based people on nostr already i think if your feed sucks its on you
maybe lots of folks aren't ready to take responsibility for their own social media

my feed is awesome, no complaints, just being realistic on the numbers and slow growth.
being realistic and honest isnβt being hateful. i love nostr, i have a great diverse feed.
sorry yes meant you/your as in generic third person not you as in roya
number of zaps are going up and to the right and every day i scroll across new profiles i want to follow so nostr looks good to me
as long as devs are working on the right things i think that's the main thing β
i understand completely how you feel sir tiger, it just comes to a point where it needs to be said, just so we can acknowledge the biggest fault without it offending us all personally.
it seems that when this topic is brought up in any way, people take such personal offense that itβs shut down with zero thought to the issues existence. we all know deep down inside itβs becoming more and more a problem, but our egos wonβt let us admit it and actually try and fix it.
with nostr , people are out in wild having in person local meetups, running nostr lounges at confs , having music /gigs, people are putting in real work so i totally get must be super discouraging to come back and see ghost profiles
guess ive been free loading off that work, living in my little nostr bubble, so haven't even thought or seen lack of growth of nostr as a problem
is part of it that if it is not the right time for nostr for some now , then maybe it'll be their time next time they pick up a nostr app?
is part of it that existing nostr apps people have built are clones of existing SM? the big SM apps we think of today, part of what helped them get traction was a degree of uniqueness?
is part of it the intial followers issue, so an answer is the follower pack idea that nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsfmrzrk just worked on?
isnt it also worth considering, that the big SM apps got big becuse they had VCs pour millions upon millions of dollars into them to make them big
nostr is free and open protocol so either eventually someone wil find the right combo like a rubiks cube and unlocks growth you want to see or there might be an investmnt worth making for a VC and were off to the races
