Nostr doesn’t use algos or anything to encourage engagement. I started posting a month ago and I spend 99% of my time replying to other people’s posts to encourage them to follow me. -Without followers, you’re literally using nostr like a journal. -Make friends with some bigger accts. -Ask and encourage people to repost your notes. -Zap replies to encouraging people to engage your notes. -Focus on active users. 99% of the users here disappear for the same reasons you outlined. Its a different place here but the quality of the users here is top notch. Use tools to connect with other new users. Etc etc etc Be creative. https://nostr.band/trending/profiles/2024-10-29 🍻🧡👊🏻
