If you're trying to grow your NOSTR profile and are focused on posting new content, you're missing out. commenting on other people's stuff is the way think about it. there's no Discovery tool for people to find new accounts that are posting and everyone who is posting is starving for engagement. This has been the same for growing an account on X, but it's even more drastic here.

Yes this is the way. Still need original content as well otherwise why would someone follow a profile. Having said that- here is my shameless plug : follow me for great cycling related content 🚵🚲
I'm not really focused on creating any profile here at Nostr. Just sharing some of "my stuff" and thoughts with whoever shows up. I like to pop in at least once a day for a few moments. I'll post something, share something, zap someone and repost something.
Posting comments in others' posts creates network. Post on your own profile doesn't. Create network is the way.
Seeing people coming here and doom posting trying to get a following is really sad. If we want to make a real difference, that isn't the way.
Most engagement I got as someone with little to no social media track record is indeed through this method

Any programmers in here? Happy to connect! 💻
It's all about the ratio. I just did a massive purge of my follows and got rid of bad ratio people 🚮
Ben, thanks for this. One odd thing I found after reading this is that the number of replies to your post shows 116, however I am only seeing 15. I know we’re early but… is thing thing working or does it need new spark plugs?
maybe y'all aren't connecting to big enough relays? maybe it's a data saving option from your client. maybe you have a setting turned on to only see followers comments. idk y'all, but it's not a spam filter issue

I’m happy using that name because it’s true. I am old and love Crypto. I always knew the financial system was corrupt but had no idea how corrupt The penny dropped when I read The Bitcoin Standard and Lyn Alden’s “Broken money”
