I pop in once in a while to check on progress here, but tbh Idc about bitcoin. I don’t have anything against it, but it’s just not my thing. It’s saturation here is why I’ve moved to other clients. I do love the decentralized part, but I gravitate to clients that have a diversity of content. I’m just to adhd to enjoy the same things over, and over again
Discussion
Where do you gravitate?
It feels like I’m on all of them at this point. I really just monitoring the progress of a bunch of clients to see which ones are progressing in a good direction.
A short list would be
They’re ui kinda sucks, but they do have user created communities
https://zapddit.com/communities/discover
Very similar to satellite, but very buggy atm
It similar to Damus, but for whatever reason I see more diverse content there
Is doing some cool things with apps.
Seems to be the place for memes lol
https://www.austrich.net/nostr
I’m just digging through sites like this one, and trying everything I can.
It’s difficult to judge any client to harshly. Nostr is still really new, and has a long way to go. It’s just id like to see decentralization take root in a much large way than bitcoin can do alone. So I offer my constructive criticism.
People are making hashtags like #grownostr to get more ppl interested tbf. The content is there if you don’t mind digging through stupid zap posts.
It does take effort. I agree for the 99% it needs to take less effort.
I’m still optimistic. But I see and agree with your point in general. But it’s better than it was three months ago, so still optimistic.
Finding people is difficult.
Finding threads is difficult.
Finding follows is difficult
Finding # tags is difficult.
But, that’s because we’re early. Overall we’ll grow, and expand, and mature.
Careful, that bot hasnt figured out a lightning wallet yet. I found a ton of people building my community here. If you are here we share some common bond, could care less if using only nostr. These are my people. Are they yours?
Lol I haven’t figured out lighting wallet either. It’s not my thing. I’m the physical assets guy. Bitcoin is cool, and all. You guys like it a lot more than I do is all.
The common bond is an interest in the progress of Nostr. Beyond that I don’t believe Damus to be my community. It’s a good community for what it is though.
Grow Nostr is dumb hashtag. It’s too generic…
There’s also #foodstr #carstr (p.s. I hate the “str” thing, just use hashtags normally).
The mute user function is quite nice. Doesn’t work very well on Iris so I switch between Damus and Iris depending on whether I want to zap or not.
The mute feature on Damus is very nice though for removing low effort nonsense like single word “#Bitcoin” posts, shitty AI memes or “artwork”, or zap requests/begging.
Takes a few days but it really cleans up the feed nicely.
