A lot of the notes I boost don't even show up on primal. I don't understand if they're censoring folks as some claim, or if it's that they don't allow cross relay promotion? It's a shame because I see that as the best way to discover new folks, and the attitude on the primal trending pages is super stale.
They need to be open to more talking points than just the Bitcoin influencers and the anti-zionists. It's hard enough to onboard normies without the toxic boys club on Primal.

Lack of cross relay integration is clearly by design, imo. They just want what the Primal team, and what their influencers talk about, to trend. It's a client that strictly adheres to the attention-starved influencer mentality. Barely anything educational with little meaningful engagement.
Yea I agree. They could at least get better influencers, the ones on primal trending seem like they mostly regurgitate Twitter outrage content and it's boring, like there's a reason I left legacy social media come on bring a fresh take.
you have to broadcast the note to the primal relay, boosting alone doesn't necessarily do this.
Ah! This is a nuance that I didn't understand previously, thank you for bringing it up! Would proper protocol be to boost and broadcast, or would just broadcasting it suffice?
boosting references the note on your list of kind 1 events to your relays, but broadcasting copies the event to your relays
nostr is dumb lol
I think most apps will broadcast on a boost. YMMV depending on client of course.
