THis is how federation works on Fedi:

1. STart out with nothing on your feed.

2. Add some known relays or users, posts start coming up.

3. As soon as a user is found, it's added to the database and gets posts for the user.

4. The more users found, your network grows, your timeline gets busy

On Nostor, you have to figure out what relays to use and what user is on which relay. There is not learning of users on the entire network. No discovery

> If nobody liked it, why would you expect it to grow?

Small niche communities are nice. That is what makes the Fediverse great. I am sure that you enjoy talking to people about zaps all day in your community. Putting everyone on a platform like Twitter is shouting out into the void and worshiping blue checkmark celebrities brought to you by the algorithm.

> There are also many projects that simply fail because the time wasn’t right or the masses weren’t ready for it

The problem with Niche communities or alternative technology is that they are hard to get people to try and stay. Nostr's learning curve is pretty high for normies compared to already proven alternative social media networks like Gab, Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey.

Better social platforms already exist like Mastodon, for over 10 years. It had a chance to get many Twitter users and it failed becausae nobody liked it. How do you expect this to grow when better user-friendly platforms can't even attract normies.

PS I want Nostr to win of course, this is cool sht.

It's easy to understand: person@company.com

> You said Mastodon is better - How?

1. Better federation and User Discovery. No need to add relays.

2. Moderation and Management Tools

3. Better web interface with many more features like reacts, custom emojis, quote posts

4. Millions of diverse users, not just crypto bros

I am 38 and worked for a few Silicon Valley Startups. I am a Linux nerd and worked in Tech Marketing. Boomers were even able to use Twitter and Facebook since it's inception. I Hate Facebook and Twitter but they have a better user experience like Mastodon/Fediverse/Gab. You start talking about decentralization ,relays, keys, zaps and you will loose them.

Oil prices stabilised on Thursday after Brent crude posted its biggest one-day loss for seven weeks in the previous session, with gains on Russian supply curbs capped by an expected rise in U.S. inventories.
