My opinion after 15 days using #nostr :
I'm using the default set of relays of #amethyst and at the beginning it was pretty hard to find real content. Everything I saw when scrolling was bot spam, scams and sometimes AI softporn.
I was almost giving up and uninstalling my client, when had the idea of following everyone that was followed by fiatjaf. So I started to have a good followed feed (when I unfolowed all the hashtags, people usually don't know how to use it properly), and now I'm naturally finding more people to follow.
Now, honestly, I'm happy that I didn't give up on Nostr. Unlike the mainstream social media, it looks natural, spontaneous, I don't know how to explain. And there's a lot of stuff that people are building around it, I see a bright future for Nost.
I'm glad that I found nostr 🙂
(And sorry for my bad English, I'm trying to improve my writing).

The bots and porn are still an issue for me, but with some work you can curate a decent feed. The big question now is how to attract more content creators and users for a more vibrant network.
I think the more accessible clients, like Primal and Damus, help with this. nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqszj3vzr05hzts4g2nsvt0t6adx5f3r03dux08cwl8zcwh5d4qzd0cg8xg7s tried to get me on here for quite a while and it all just sounded very confusing to me. Primal doesn't feel overwhelming to me. But I sometimes feel a bit out of place because I see so much tech-speak that I just don't understand (I'm trying!), and I'm just over here posting my pictures of birds and surfers to try and brighten everyone's day. 🤣
I use both of those regularly. Primal has a better aesthetic but seems more glitchy.
yeah. the first week is weird. but looking at real people follow lists was smart. 🙂
