I'm quite shocked that the Fediverse has that many daily posts still. After the big mastodon stumble it seemed to kind of fall out of my internet field of view. Granted I don't follow a whole lot of people across the platforms I'm on.
Nostr relays are mainly hobbyists, so it's going to be hard to hit those big numbers when $100 can be the difference between staying up and shutting down.
Nostr is not shining in a positive way. 😅
The mobile / desktop nostr apps can embed a personal relay which will help a lot. Or we need a better business model for relays. I think we’ll find them.
Onboarding and quality are the key issues at the moment. Lack of credible search next.
From the data I have from
@Relayable.org I don't think the nostr band stats are all that accurate. But just my take.
We need an OSS search since all I know of are black boxes.
Not surprise me to be honest, since Fedi has more years. Yet is sus Bluesky.
Does anyone have an invite code for Bluesky? I'd love to check it out.
i personally wrote a hit piece on BlueSky and then joined Nostr myself.
the reason people go to BlueSky and not Nostr is because they know Bluesky will be same shit as Twitter but with a shiny new wrapper plus it's by invitation, which makes you feel special. so BlueSky is really offering people to feel better about themselves without any real change.
meanwhile with Nostr they know it's something different and they are afraid of change. people don't want to BE they want to SIGNAL.
Bluesky is about signaling. Nostr is about substance.
This is why Nostr will always be small - because most people have none ( substance ).
Gracias,👍🏼
Excelente aporte
every user should also be a relay.
this way we would be able to have video uploads for example.
basically merge bit torrent and nostr.
you need to give up on the absurd fantasy that nostr will ever be for the masses.
accept that nostr will always be for select few and make it MORE demanding to use, not less.
demand every user be a relay with minimum requirements for bandwidth, storage and uptime. then depending on how much you offer as a server / relay is also the level of service you get in return ( can you stream 4K video hosted on Nostr ? etc. )
Also, media is a big drive factor for Bluesky

nostr has more to figure out than most as it is starting from a deeper foundation, and is evolving organically and competitively rather than by design.
So we should expect it to take longer to form and longer to iterate to become something broadly compelling.
nostr has no technology limitations and is not short of talented developers, what is missing at the moment is diversity of business models.
nostr has maybe a dozen Twitter clones. Why? Why build the 13th Twitter clone?
There was nostrgram for a while, but really another brand clone. Why?
Stop cloning web2, what’s the point?
It already exists.
“Hey I built Twitter but better, because of [complicated reasons]”… is not compelling.
nostr needs to think a little more profoundly about what the tech actually is, and then lean into that and follow where that truth leads to… it does not lead to Twitter clones!
Discovery does not mean aggregation! Stop and think more deeply. Empower exploration instead of sterilising it, the internet made a bad turn, we can now go back and turn the other way.
Nostr is a permissionless standard for sharing things safely. Safe torrents are now possible, yet people are using nostr to churn out another social feed UI?
Notes are not limited to blobs of text.
Middleman relays are nice, but edge relays are the end game. I can already see that coming over the hill with nostrdb.
Patience and persistence are the only things that nostr needs to have protected whilst it incubates in public.
Is the lack of quality UI in any way reflective of the protocol itself, or do we think the clients just haven't matured yet?
Check my profile, I posted some codes

good search should replace #tags
decentralized media is a huge problem not solved on nostr yet
why build the 13th twitter clone? because none do it rite
Someone should legitimately clone Tweetbot or one of the good twitter apps and make it work with nostr.
Copy what works instead of half assing your own solution.
copying what works should always be the starting point, its why nostr works because
@fiatjaf ignored things that didnt work like p2p
there is new things that will work really well however and thats combining other things that work like chat and forum reddit and twitter on the same data set, something nostr was born to do
amethyst wont let me like your note??
@Vitor Pamplonaomg lol it liked lots but didnt show it kek
fucking agree Sick of the twitter shit
🤣
What confuses me the most, as a new user you get the impression nostr is a thousend different, splintered worlds that dont really know of each other.
When I tried many different clients, each client presented me a completely different timeline that seemed to have no connection to each other.
And no client had a global timeline so you can get a feel whats going on or where you are.
It felt like a 1000 different rooms. And whichever you opend a new set if people talked about a completely new set of things.
Also: My first feeling was this is not a social network, but a network to talk about bitcoin. And nostr. A single theme network.
I like the protocol and I kinda like Crypto, but did not know what to do with nostr. It felt so shattered and without a general population.
For me the most important feature would be a global timeline of posts that are currently gaining traction.
Still very complicated to assemple all pidces together.
I was able to convince a couple of friends. They got the Ethos..
Keys, nip05, wallet etc... still complex
Plug'n Play Getalby type of usr set up could facilitate
Yes, I believe this is a feature not a bug. People who use Twitter also will use Facebook/Gab/etc. Think of client as no different
