A simple scroll through your profile:
• The posts kinda look scripted with the short line and then bunch of hashtags, people might be passing it off as a bot.
• Posts are not very frequent, takes a bit to catch attention from someone who wants to engage if they aren’t sure who you are (trust networks are big here, this is why it’s a lot of bitcoiners)
• You don’t seem to be engaging with anyone, I would encourage more conversation and replies. In fact had it not been for this comment, I might not have had any clear indication that it wasn’t just a political post bot.
• Follow more people. Because there is no algorithm or “curated experience” for new users, everything is dependent upon following a large group for good posts, and then engaging with them.
It’s a little different than social media, because they actually do a lot to cater the experience so that certain things get engagement and that new users are pushed in particular directions and find a “community” to get angry over the same things to keep them locked in. #Nostr is a raw social network. It doesn’t have those things. It’s kinda like joining a huge party where you don’t know anyone. You gotta go up and talk to people and meet them. Not many scroll the global feed just looking for good posts I don’t think. So if you don’t engage, you likely won’t reach many people.
That’s my 2 sats. Hope this helps man.
Suggest you spend time following and replying to other people’s content a bit more, you’ve got to build up followers or nostr will feel empty as no-one is seeing your content.
Also try posting things that interest you rather than just real world stuff and follow those who interact. You’ll find like minded people to grow your network easier this way.
If you’re at a social event and stand off in the corner just lurking talking to yourself do you expect a lot of people to come up and talk to you? You would do better to go into the crowd and initiate or join conversations. Same on Nostr. Follow lots of people and engage with their posts and start interacting in threads that interest you. People will start interacting back and following you.
My hunch is that people assume you are selling stuff. "buy t shirts" and "learn skills fast on our YouTube" feels like an advertising account.
I would take that out of your profile. A link to a business and/personal website is one thing, but sales pitches and taglines in the bio is another.
I doubt it's entirely your fault. My experience with Nostr (especially on Android) is that it takes more effort to keep tabs on folks I follow if their name doesn't happen to be at the forefront of my mind. Most of my feed in Primal and Amethyst are notes from people who happen to be posting right now. On desktop this is less of an issue since I can save and sort npubs as browser bookmarks in designated subfolders.
I've seen quite a few posts since joining that recommend using the repost button sparingly. I think this is a double-edged sword. Reposting too much can clog up a follower's feed with multiple copies of the same note, but never reposting limits the exposure of a quality note.

It just takes time.. hell I was posting to Twitter with 2400 followers and not getting any interactions either so.. just engage with people and spend time here. Things will fall into place
Need more 'scary clown'-type content
He's fine asf
When I say 'scary clown' I'm talking about psychotic clowns. Grinning with fixed pupils. People like that shit (or at least I do)
