How do you best promote Nostr? That's what I was thinking about the other day. Pretty simple: By not mentioning a single word about Nostr. Haha. I know, some folks here are gonna get allergic reactions and break out in pimples around their mouths, but the underlying protocol, all those technical nitpicks, or even relays... none of that means anything to newcomers. The average person only cares about the client. That's what they see, that's what they use. And when you're promoting, you don't talk about how awesome your own client is or what cool features it has, like how #NoorNote has killer NIP-51 list management, or how it shows quoted reposts as replies under the note, or how it can handle and create NIP-71 video content. All of that is soooo boring. The average person has no idea what to do with any of it. Instead, you do a total U-turn back to Nostr's features and promote why someone should even bother using a Nostr client in the first place. I know, some people are getting even more pimples around their mouths right now. But hey, that's just my hypothesis. If you think you know better, go ahead and try whatever you want. Feel free to ramble on about protocols and NIPs and relays for all I care. Anyway, here's my Nostr ad campaign for sure: image Grab the banners and spread the word. Just link to and leave the rest to me 😏. The lame content isn't my issue. But if the content's good enough and the average person sticks around longer, they'll eventually discover and try out other clients too.
