Nostr currently is stuck in the cycle of
There's only Bitcoin content => No one wants to join Nostr => No one wants to create non-Bitcoin content since no one wants to consume it

But Bitcoin is the most trending thing ever, and we're early. Nostr as is looks like the right place to be to me.
yes
content creation isn't being done because it doesn't get reposted/quoted either -> part of the reason that the discovery is so bad for new content
improving discovery increases the likelihood of new content getting shown to people, incentivising content-creation, getting more ppl to read it
There is also privacy content
I totally understand the concern — it can definitely feel like Nostr is caught in that loop sometimes.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been producing non-Bitcoin content on Nostr since the very first day I joined. It hasn’t always been easy to find an audience outside the Bitcoin crowd, but I think every piece of content we share helps broaden the ecosystem a little bit at a time.
Maybe the key is to keep experimenting, cross-connecting with other communities, and showing that Nostr isn’t limited to a single topic. Growth can be slow at first, but it starts with people willing to create and share — and that’s something we’re already doing.
Yeah, I'm also looking to connect to people that is open to other stuff. Will add you all by the way.
Proudly making non-btc stuff here for over a nearly 18 months.
Mainstream social media is for Benny Hill fans only.
Works for me 😅
A fellow no-zapper, wassup
Nah, nostr has more diversity of content than you see as a user, the problem is therefore content discovery
Yes. This is a desirable outcome. I'm glad this is where we ended up.
Then why does everyone talk about making the next big thing for normies
obv. not everyone 🤪
Jokes aside I believe that the next big thing will be the other stuff. No idea what that will be tho
I joined Nostr 2 days ago. I am into bitcoin, but I’m here to promote my music and connect with other musicians. I hope there is a place for that here, and that people are also keen on consuming content that doesn’t have anything to do with bitcoin.
I’d like to see that
Misguided, the normies are already cooked.
Its called echo chamber
It's been there for a couple years honestly. The mostr bridge helps with some variety.
And that's ok
Yeah and I don't even think the future of Bitcoin is all that stable. "Bitcoin" should be a euphemism for getting out of the system. The road out may not be Bitcoin itself.
My contents not that great, but at least it's not about BTC 🤷♂️. You may see a repost now and again though
I'm out here with real #redactedscience.
You want to know how science and medicine have been redacted? I have documented it, and I'm living it.. broadcasting the changes my body undergoes during this induced but redacted condition.
It's weird, yeah. But I've written a book and in have over one hundred videos that will eventually be released.

Nostr is the last remnant of the now dead bitcoin community
I think the problem is that nostr works best with #zaps, creators who make non-Bitcoin content don’t know how to set up zaps properly and get less engagement, but with the simplification of tools this could be an opportunity to spread the knowledge of Bitcoin to those alternative content creators who are gradually joining.
English lessons on my page. Been here for 6 months
Creators need to be more diverse in their posts.
I try to talk about sports a little but a lot of people on nostr think sports are just bread and circus. It’s probably the content that gets the least engagement here. Just need more time imo.
I can see why it feels that way sometimes! As someone who is just starting my own Bitcoin journey, I'm definitely not an expert. My real passion is writing about the human experience – surviving tough times, building resilience, and finding hope. I believe those stories are just as important here.
I equate this to someone in 2016 lamenting the fact no sovereign state has created a bitcoin treasury reserve yet.
Incubation time is valuable. Teasing out issues in relative obscurity has its merits.

Is it dead on Xitter?
It's dead everywhere
maybe
I guess you haven't heard of me? ☺️
Bitcoin community is thriving.
If we talk about death - woke is dead, the gender mental illness is dead and the core spammers are dead inside.
The Bitcoin Army is continuously growing.
The Reddit's r/bitcoin Division is nearing 8 Million subscribers.
Morale is high.

heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at 
... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.
Rizful: Lightning Services
Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
The sub reddit has sucked for years
the Buttcoiners?, yes
We’re growing nostr here 😂
Not sure what the normies are talking about 😅
I do my part
I always fluctuate a lot in my topics here.
I try, as far as is reasonable, to be a normal person 😂
I do a weekly eclectic music show. Come
Join me good people!
Violinist and composer here 🎻🎵 posting daily music videos for the last 3 weeks! I love Nostr already and I’m slowly finding my people. I think discovery or finding new people is a bit challenging, but I’m excited to learn how it all works here!
Figure out how to stream. I had some good sports threads & chats streaming the Stanley Cup finals last year. There's sports fans out there.
when did the bitcoin community die for you ?
I beg to differ
I would suggest Nostr is slow growth like bitcoin
Catching everyone who’s banned from other social media-people who like zaps-people trying new things, etc
I keep post music, sports, skateboarding shit and no one cares.💀
Not sure if muted by all everyone or early.
Don’t care 😂
Preach on!!
I’m part of a nostr fantasy football league so I’ve found some but yea idk about streaming lol
Started with covid, but it really started to show 23/24
Come watch a DirtDawg rip a mountain bike and play in nature.
I hear ya.
It’s different in NZ..
our IRL bitcoin community didn’t start until covid 😆
I think GameStop minted tons of covid coiners 😂
Instant follow !
You make a great point. It is hard to discover nostr for one thing. I only found out about it by watching Bitcoin videos, so yeah, it would be mainly of interest to those who like bitcoin already.
I agree. I've only been really active on here in 2025, but I'm seeing a gradual shift in my feed away from BTC and to other interests. It still doesn't replace the research and science content I find on LinkedIn, but I'm hoping to get there.
i think whatever ..it is that easier for people better use .
You are welcome to follow me. My topics are NOT bitcoin. 😁
My topics: GAMING, SECURITY, PRIVACY 😎
Yes. Like my account. 😄
Well, if you like bodybuilding, join me! 😁 💪
Thank you 🙏 I hope you enjoy my notes, musical and otherwise!!
