There is as much unlearning to be done as there is learning.

It amazes me how few people comment on anything but you know theyโre doom scrolling for new content
Why are you so ruthless.
Doom scrolling is addicting, but here it's more like happy scrolling.

No more than 420%
I liked this. but I'm also commenting just so you know how much I love it. I feel seen.
Happy hopeful scrolling ๐

But ser - they post here first! 5 seconds before Xitterโข๏ธ
*in some cases
**allegedly
who should I follow
I feel like most nostr users are just lurkers
Yep
My approach was to follow literally everyone I came across at first. Once I hit where I was following like 1000 people I started unfollowing some who had either become inactive or weren't posting the kind of stuff I was interested in seeing all the time. Then I've done that same thing a few timesโfollow more people, go back and unfollow inactive or uninteresting accounts later on.
Imagine how many likes they sacrifice in the process. So brave.
Truly revolutionary influuuencor modool
Gary V be pROUD
Perhaps. Most users on any social platform are just lurkers looking to consume content.
Facts
The goal is to be as weird as possible
Itโs hard to find the balance but weโre working on it
100% true. It's a socal platform jfc you gotta interact. Find people you like, then look at who they follow. Build your audience!
It's not fucking hard.

Accurate, I also hear โI hate hashtagsโ, but then they use Twitter as their main legacy media type

Unfortunately for me, though I do zap and like posts a lot, I find limited joy in the strategy of initiating lots of superficial interactions vs. fewer but more meaningful interactions (which for me occur by actually talking to real people). Probably because I don't have lots of time, and partly because of my age/generation, and also because I don't inherently possess the skills of shmoozing and shitposting online. I wish I did have those skills LOL. Also, I'm a slow writer - this post took me like 8-10 minutes to write and edit, etc. That's too long if I need to be spraying comments everywhere on here. But in the end I understand that because of my lack of ability and time I'll only have very little engagement on here. And that's OK by me ๐ in the end this took me 12 min. LOL

Stop calling me out!
One of my favourite templates
Love this meme. Hilarious ๐๐๐
worst part is: we keep telling them over and over and they keep thinking engagement will magically happen ๐

Imagine having to put in work to form a relationshipโฆโฆ
I follow 55 people and no cross posting :(
Put in work? Impossible !
What is this relationship you speak of? Iโm just here to pontificate on my moral superiority and receive validation for my banal repetition of catch phrases!
Youโre doing one hell of a job! ๐
๐คฃ๐
I hope not. Iโve always wanted to lose at social media.
You nailed it! ๐๐๐๐พ
Just because I live in a house, doesnโt mean Iโm a house cat. ๐ฆ
i think its because everyone on nostr (20 of em) isnt liking your posts and you didnt post in all caps
Iโve always preferred to be in places where losing is winning
Youโre in the right place. Weโre all losers winning here.
Iโm going to update my nostr slogan:
#Nostr
The perfectly imperfect. Where losers are winning.
This one is nice
Literally me, if he just sat silently because he knows exactly why heโs not getting traction ๐

there are also a following cult on nostr, because of standard recommendation on who to follow and because of trending feed of big accounts.
Reinforces the echo chamber.
I feel attacked. @ODELL
๐ฏ I wish that data vending machines for discovery of content/people were more prevalent and integrated in clients. Search, onboarding, etc., would be improved so much.
This is the way ๐ฅ
"Don't make me actually talk to people as if they're human beings. I need followers." ๐
๐๐
The danger is that nostr could recapitulate too many aspects of legacy social media, in exactly the way you mention. Actively rewarding people bc they are influencers = punishing those who are not influencers. Lots of people donโt want us to recreate that world.
๐ญ
So you are telling me I'm not shadowbanned? ๐จ
Also, this makes me realize I'm just stupid at this engagement game.
imagine using social media in order to "get traction"
If you are on nostr, why go back to "X" ?
There more people ? there more algo ? you have more followers ?
or maybe all of those, plus are you after fame and number ad ?
(background and clothing pay attention)
yep
Sometimes replies do not get traction.
I would check up daily on my friends, however the day I stopped, conversation ended.
Same cycle each season.
That is why I love lonely places.
People think I am a lesbian, while there are no handsome or durable characters in University
I alternate between both.
There are still much more content I like to read on Twitter than nostr (unfortunately).
Nostr is grassroots and genuine, but feels like an echo chamber after a while.
Twitter is mostly fake and full of BS (scam ads, impersonators), but if you doesnโt use the โfor youโ feed, you can still read mostly interesting stuff that you donโt find on nostr.
can confirm
so true

frankly X has worst traction .. Reddit is the best .. Nostr is a community of bitcoiners and bots :-) You get traction only if you do something real with btc or lightning.. or make bunch of tools to improve nostr .. and there is nothing wrong with it ..
This is a struggle for those who are new to the nostr ecosystem. Stickiness of mainstream media is a thing that prevents cross over but at the same time, a lot of people just consume and don't engage.
I <3 nostr for the detailed conversations that aren't elsewhere.
But there is also the fact that some of us are not continuously consuming social media all the time.... I usually shut social media off to enhance productivity, not sure how bad this ends up for engagement but I'm never here to farm engagement, only here for the memes ๐
That's one of the things I love most about Nostr, is that you're not punished by an algorithm for not being active. On other platforms, if you're not consistently active then the algorithm actually will punish you and make you work even harder to get engagement when you come back online.
I take offense to this
