I think the BEST way to get more people on nostr is the Share button. Share posts from nostr to other platform. That’s our best way to get people here. That’s really how we learned about any new social media, someone shared a link with us, we liked it, we joined. This is why we need a EXCELLENT Web Onboarding. Example: I like something while using Damus/Primal/any nostr client, I share it out, someone finds it and gets to Damus/Primal/etc website, they read the post, try to sign up and hit a wall…. > Fix the point of entry. Encouraging the user to download the app with a banner on the website is ok. That works. Anything less than that is bad UX, don’t even offer a share button if you don’t offer a landing site.

Getting people here isn't the problem, although, it could use help too. Getting people to stay is where it falls apart.

Would be interesting to see how true this actually is with current algos on legacy platforms. They prioritize video and content that keeps people on platforms. Written content is somewhat dead. It would have to be really, really good—meaning controversial for X 😆 What Nostr content do we know translates well to other platforms? Because shilling “Nostr so good” has only gotten us so far.

It's hard to reverse a negative first impression, so I believe it's better to ensure at least minimal usability and comfort before promoting a service. Besides, it's difficult to recommend a social platform (whether a microblogging app, messenger, or anything similar) if users aren't confident that their direct messages will actually be delivered.

And what about inviting people who've been deplatformed or censored on centralized social media platforms ? And educating them about the benefits of nostr with censorship resistance ? There's a long list of people who think there's no alternative ...
