Nostr

oh yeah, it's my #nostrversary :3

been at this for a whole year now—unbelievable lol

thank you to all the frenly people on #nostr you've made the experience worthwhile ^___^

i know a lot of what i note is a bit odd and/or out of favor for most, but i appreciate the engagement and the discussions and the kindness i've received so far—not as many rude or mean interactions than other places on the internet <3

it's been interesting to see how i've adjusted my content as i've learned more about nostr and myself. i've been posting notes almost everyday using the microblogging clients, but i'm thinking about shifting gears and focusing more on #longform stuff. but i'm not sure if nostr is the best place for that yet..?

anyway, happy nostrversary to me~! ^.^

I don't think longform gets so much visibility. Would be nice if clients intermixed normal notes with longform that could be expanded with a click, but I see the reasons why the community chose separate things.

Best bet is still to advertise your longform via kind1, but how to link is the problem. You can post a deep link to an existing reader app, but that breaks the flow of normal usage. You can use the nostr: protocol prefix, but support for that is few and far between, and just posting the event ID is still not supported everywhere. But maybe it's because of lack of author adoption.

hey, thanks for the feedback. damus and yakihonne do a good job of integrating longform on the feed, but i think i agree: reposting in kind 1 would be optimal.

the challenge with #nostr is that since there's no algorithm, most content has to be recent to be relevant which puts longform at a disadvantage.

it's also difficult to search and find content still. tags are okay, but more popular tags tend to get spammed. the search function in many clients are a bit primitive.

idk, i don't think many people at all are looking for the stuff i write and note about anyway lol :3
