Hey plebs - where is everybody?
I thought Threads was a ghost town but at least I get 40-80 likes when I post over there and I only have 7k followers over there.
Many people asked me to post over here but it just doesn’t look like anybody is engaged here.

Gradually, then suddenly.
I don’t see you in X anymore. Are you still posting there?
Here 🖐️ I'm more of a lurker tho 😅
Imo the feed algo on Nostr needs work. I'm not seeing posts of most people I follow until I go and look like on there profile..
Love this platform
Feels like anything I post elswhere gets throttled... I'm not the only one
We're here but nostr pubs value interaction and genuine connection.
News, breaking, broadcast only posts don't attract most people here
50-100k followers ain’t no joke Lmfao
No, I was banned for whatever reason. No explanation from X whatsoever. This once again underlines the importance of decentralisation.
The things worth doing are often the hardest to do. Busy is not a valid excuse if you're crying for results.
There are no algos to work for you. Proof of work matters here. Bitcoiners on nostr practice what they preach.
Yeah I get.
It’s more personal and free here.
🤙🏽💜

Don't feel bad there are times when I have a legitimate question about how to do something and I get no response. Don't take it personal😂
what's threads?🤣
Walled gardens suck.
Not sure what you’re implying, but engagement doesn’t magically appear out of thin air. Gotta work for it since there’s no algorithm
I've never seen your posts before now.
Happened to me too, two months ago.
I just reposted to my ten followers, you're welcome
Yep, definitely an issue here. The same 10-20 BTC folks get all of the engagement and most of it is GM Nostr spam.
The difficulty building the network effects and associated engagement over here in NOSTR speaks to the importance of first mover advantage in systems that require network effects to succeed.
It takes time and energy and persistence and patience and humility to build out on NOSTR when Twitter is over there, flashing its pre-existing network effect as an attractive alternative. But NOSTR has more staying power in the long-run.
A tsunami of freedom. 🤙🏼

We’re just chilled here 🤙
You rang?
Maybe try post authentic and genuine content. Rather than just steal other people’s content for a living and repost it.
Nostr has more of community vibe atm. You have to take part in discussions or people are just think you are a bot and not a human run account.
I am also finding it hard to get some followers but at least they are real people. Not so sure about Twitter with the overwhelming amount of bots and fake accounts.
Are you kidding?
This isn’t a bloated protocol where you get a bunch of bot replies and fake likes. This is organic. Maybe you should pay attention to the fact that this shitpost garnered over 10 organic replies.
I’m not sure how engagement works on Nostr either 😂
Using Damus in zap-only mode, zaps not allowed, WoS is gone, and I just haven’t gotten around to whatever the next thing is
✊🏼
Post value and thou shall receive value
It’s difficult being a human at this time, competing with ze bots is almost impossible
It’s not a like accumulation platform. Talk to people instead of copy/pasting news everyone heard of already and your engagement will skyrocket. Im not telling you to change your business model, but this is not twitter ser.
🤣
Quality… not quantity !
#nostr
Exactly
Beep bop beep
My problem appears to either be my relays, or the web client Im using.
Causing the the general experience to be a bit buggy/unreliable.
Im still hopeful things will improve.
#meme 

Sounds like a Zuck, fiat mind-set problem.
Nostr is like the mempool, you are thrown in the middle along with everyone, you have to constantly fight to be in the first block.

Beeeeeeep
Beeeeeeeeppppp
Booooooooopppp
Beee boop bee
Let’s not complain about what we’ve got and make best use.
probably no addictive algorithm on nostr?
Nostr need better algorithm to show/filter posts.
Trying here because censure is around the corner
We are here Archie!
"Engagement" 

We're not here.
We’ll miss you! (We won’t miss you!)
Bitcoiners are more thoughtful, hence far less noise, Sir.
🧡🤙
Realize by being on threads you're just pandering to the latest "thing" which you'll eventually be rugged by.
Wake up. Corporate social media is a disease.

#Bitcoin Archive is here!

We are here!
Zaps are better than likes
This is the place to be!
Have you contacted the Engagement department of Nostr? Maybe they can help
Hi from India 🇮🇳
Give it time...
Threads is gay.
Why Threads?!?
The number of active users has been stagnating, I think #Nostr is in an experimentation and incubation phase before jumping to the next level.
maybe you just suck?
💯
It’s just a commercial decision. If it grows I’ve gotta be on there to reach people.
why does it matter anyway? threads.net, and nostr are both heading to fediverse compatibility

Ok
Stay humble and stack sats
Ahahahahhhahhhahhha
Slowly but surely
No algo here to support your brain dead business model


The symptoms you feel are a sign of being very early to the NOSTR party.
You're right
If thirst is your main concern, nostr isn’t for you
Post here we like you ❤️
Hi, I'm followind you and I appreciate yopr news, but I don't push the like button as often as I used to on NOSTR.
The Nostr community is still smol but it's great. I have a lot of fun here.
It’s just too early.
Someday tho, soooomedayyyy
Ups… the copy/paste didn’t went as expected…
Threads, like Twitter and Facebook, push posts algorythmicaly. Here on Nostr, you have to stare into the deep well known as "Global". Nothing is pushed, it's quite "live". Much different.
That said; do you feel that engagement on Threads is "true" and "real"? I am here on Nostr because eventhough I only get few interactions, I at least know that people actually read my stuff and wanted to interact - rather than being force-fed by an algo.
I didn't know you were here. No algo has it's positives and it's negatives.
Not sure tbh. I drop it and leave.
Twitter is the only place I spend time. Used to be on here to chit chat in early days but got too busy.
oh you're on here. nice. followed.
Nice engagement tweet!
sup 🤙
I think most people a figuring out how this thing works. Just like me.
I agree.
I like the dynamic but it seemed to fall off a bit for me.
That’s why I put this out to see if it’s just me, the platform, or maybe news headlines aren’t really the thing for here.
Surprised by some of the aggressive responses tbh.
News is needed here. To the extent we lack it, we have to check Twitter and get dragged into the abyss while doing so.
Instant follow 😂
I liked your content on Twtr. API changes this year meant I couldn't access. Glad you're here. Zappy zap zap
Only cares about the clout, not the tech. Sad.

uhh
? 😭
There’s nothing wrong with using Threads
That’s cuz Threads has more users and algorithms. Search #grownostr to find content here. Welcome and enjoy 😊
Of course there is.
