Well you also have to recognize that not everybody likes people focus social media.

Like I'm a Reddit user I like topics and communities so that shit really sucks here.

Just a lot of good morning good night posts and people posting pictures of their food and their cat and shit.

I'm not interested in that that provides nothing of value to me or my life.

I'm looking for valuable information shit to solve my problems.

That's what I don't get.

Why does Noster just want to be another social media site instead of a tool like Reddit?

You Google anything and what comes up a Reddit post with more than likely an answer to your exact fucking question.

Nostr needs to be more like that

Not just another fucking social media Twitter clone dude. I need to be something actually useful. There's a gazillions of different Twitter clones all over the place.

There's nothing special about that

But there's only one fucking Reddit.

And nobody else can seem to step up to the plate to be something bigger and better than it

🤗 looking forward to it

Yeah true. I came from Xitter™️ when there was a big wave of people and definitely got a lot of npubs out of all the commotion

I took a hands-on approach to discovering content and not just being out alone in the void, damp and confused, which is not normal and shouldn’t be expected of everyone if wide adoption is the goal

We definitely want newcomers to have easier and more effective ways of getting to the point of experiencing value from nostr. I don’t have any bright ideas at the moment though, seems like algos might be in order 😭

start with lists support (listr.lol), and in-app list browsing + managing

people will create lists of different kinds of content and content creators, and it could be cool, if i could see what lists you follow and add them

Well, what I have heard, is that non-Bitcoin/Tech/ people are often overwhelmed with such content here (especially when first booting up the client), and find it difficult to find their way as a normie, who doesn’t want to participate in those discussions.

A lot of the newbies joining will just think that this is not meant for normies, and that’s it really. Having to explain relays etc.

When I left Twitter and invited my friends here, nobody followed. Everyone was already at Twitter and there’s no reason to leave. Even 2-5 friends going some place is not enough. You need a good sized group of people you can relate to in order to stick around.

Most people here have the orange reason in common so it’s easy to stick around. Others are just in it for nostr, and many both.

Influencers can also take place of groups.

Probably that, but also I tend to think it has more to do with perspective

People who stay are more tolerant of a slightly more complex and less polished experience with fewer people

People who leave, for any number of reasons, would rather stick with whatever established and familiar other thing they like more, which probably has more familiar and established friends for them too

There’s no way to add Interests during onboarding

You could have categories/topics to pick from, and it would then show the most popular/latest content + content creators from that topic’s hashtags

also, global is not good at all for discovery, as the rate of signal is quite random there, something like “Explore” would be nice etc

I think the discoverability plays into this massively

Those that find a community and content they like, will stay, those that don’t, mostly won’t 🤔

Goodnight 🫂💜😴
