Ha! 😆 I have fun here every day! Any questions you might have please do ask. If you want help activating the ability to zap (send value), I’ll be happy to help 🤙 Also, I just followed you.
I think that initial surge was just too soon given how new everything is.
There's no one here, and some of us don't even have toasters. Also half of the devs are cats. The ritual starts in 47 minutes. Bring snacks and stacks.
That’s a huge part of it, and how ppl here are very hostile to anyone that questions bitcoin dogma. Otoh, I feel like ppl will keep using it for a while so it could see a resurgence, esp since ppl are starting to see these issues and recognising that they can’t post about crypto 24/7 since it turns off nearly everyone.
Yes! Welcome! Start following some of the more active accounts. With a lack of an algorithm, this is how you populate your feed and interact with interesting people. A good place to start is by checking out the #[1] which gives a daily rundown of news in and around the protocol. Some of the most influential devs and users are tagged there, so its a great place to curate your follow list. Enjoy!
Awesome. And what a wonderfully unexpected and warm welcome I’ve gotten here so far! ☺️
Thanks for the warm welcome! I was very surprised to see a) that there is community here and b) that they’re so welcoming. Warmest welcomes I’ve ever gotten on a new social media toe dip. I’m very impressed. 👏
Apparently! I was surprised by how much response I got to my first post, without hashtags or anything. I’ve never seen that happen on social media before. Quite impressed by the community. Thanks for the warm welcome!
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I was surprised actually how many people saw my first post. I assumed especially since I didn’t use hashtags or anything it’d get completely buried, or that this would be a ghost town like so many other new social media apps. Imagine my surprise when a day later it had 20+ comments. I’ve never seen that before right out of the gate. Let’s just say this community’s first impression has been stellar. 👍 (Or should I say 🤙)
Nothing wrong with being a little nuts—and thanks for the welcome! 🙏
There are a bunch of us who use a specific relay that attempts to show new users who are posting for the first time. I’m assuming someone picked your post up from there and then shared it with the rest of us! We love welcoming new people with different interests. Nostr was started by a bitcoiner, and is heavily influenced by bitcoiners. But it has so much more potential than being a bitcoin echo chamber, and we love sharing that. There is a movement here called #grownostr started by @Jack Spirko which is attempting to bring in new users with various interests like your self. Also check out #artstr Enjoy your time here, and don’t hesitate to ask questions 🤙 Here’s that welcome relay: wss://welcome.Nostr.wine And the original article about #grownostr:
Awesome! I figured it had something to do with how the relay system works. I had no followers really, so figured my post had to be reaching someone somehow. Thanks for the reply and I’ll definitely pop questions if I think of some. ☺️
