"Whaaa... engagement is down on nostr, whaaaaa!"

Okay except I've been buying soap, honey, physical art, and pecan butter all through zaps.

We just wrapped up a cornychat with Rockstar where 60 people were in the room simultaneously and took turns sharing the stage.

We're planning Nostrbama where hundreds of plebs will meet face to face and make lifelong memories.

We're winning. "The Jaf" is just whining.

Just a throw blanket…for my cats

Getting away from screens 🤙

My main point is that I don't think Nostr is attracting people who don't live for Bitcoin and software development. Maybe I'm just not seeing these people. Although, I think I have the major relays added that new people would likely use.

Either way, telling me to create all the content isn't really a solution. We need more people to come here and post.

I don't see enough "genetic diversity" here to populate an entire ecosystem like the major centralized platforms. They all had marketing and features that attracted people to come post. I came to Nostr specifically through Bitcoin. Cool, but we need something else for all the other people. Something is missing. It could be that the tech is too new or unreliable. Maybe people just aren't ready for Nostr. Maybe we lack marketing. Either way, pretending that everything is fine right now (just post stuff, bro) doesn't seem productive to me.

It seems stagnant to me and I don't think posting about cigars or my other interests is going to magically fix that problem. Neither will looking at few pictures of flowers or some rando's plate of food (probably posted by Bitcoiners if I dug deeper). We don't seem to have a funnel for people to get here and stay. Bitcoiners seem to be the major on ramp, and that obviously limits Nostr to Bitcoin growth and adoption.

Am I in the wrong circles here, or has engagement gone down noticeably on Nostr?

I love the colors though! If you unravel far enough, you might be able to stretch it when you remake what was frogged.

That looks so good. The colors !!!

GM germans trying to be like americans 🚙

Either you control the memes, or the memes control you.

I watched a bunch when I first joined Nostr. A lot of the people I initially followed were podcasters, and obviously the meme was "watch podcasts, learn Bitcoin". I came to realize it's very little actual information, a bunch of price prediction talk that doesn't matter, and sponsor segments.

A better meme:

I've got a dog to walk 🐾🐶

my brother would you rather have Harris 😭. At least in the midst of all the crypto bullshit - bitcoin will have free reign

Love them. You are quite talented.

I saw this video of a dad who started teaching his son football (the real one, where they kick the ball with their feet) when he was just a couple months old, can never be early enough with these things 😆

Just boy things... 😂😂 Ours was making clubs and vampire stakes yesterday and cut his finger. Steri strips and a splint set him right.
