Doxxing my Reddit name. I don't care. The stakes are too high. Help me on-board Redditors.

I agree, it's a lot of work.
I try to post in the /n/Android community when I post Android related content.
I agree. You need a core engine which is broad base topically and then use that larger whole to spin off vertical or micro topic communities of interest. And something more elegant and tangible vs an algo-based filters on your streams. They will want channels, roles, mods, etc.
At my company we are going to embed a nostr client inside our community app so people can plug into a general topic stream and then spawn their own micro communities from popular topics from the main stream that is nostr today.
In legacy terms, combining Discord with Twitter where Twitter topics that hit critical mass spawn discord communities that are filled with users much faster.
So imagine levels of post engagement. I like a post so I share it. I zap a post. I join a community that is aligned with the topic of a post(s).
Absolutely spot on !!
I read it a year ago. It's a great book. Maybe I should read again.
Basically, the idea to solve the "cold start problem" (start a network effect from scratch) is to create extremely niched (but very active) communities, then expanding from that. It's like create each time a new and more broad concentric circle, addig more and more value for the existing communities (what causes more users wanting to join) and adding tweaking the product to repeat that for more communities.
upvotid!
Interesting responses, wondering if it’s legit.
exposed my reddit too to reply and upvote hehe <3 thank you for doing this
Your bravery and sacrifice has been appreciated and will be rewarded
Greta idea. I’ve avoided Reddit after the whole Apollo situation but I may just use it now to post about #nostr
the people asking if it's a scam threw me off a bit. however, these people are crypto users. they are used to scams on the daily. i get it.
thank you roya <3 did you see that katie is coming to Nostrville next month? <3 <3 <3
omg no, this is the best news ever. i’m so excited to see you two. expect the biggest and longest hugs ever
Thx Derek 🙏
Agree
you are welcome, brother.
will i see you at Nostrville next month?
👍🏼Upvoted
🙏
Agree
💜
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make any conferences until BTC24 in Nashville.
I will be there in spirit and look forward to seeing you again soon.
They all want somewhere to pump their scams.
😂
Commented 💪
that's fine. we orange pill them one zap at a time.
The Lord’s work is hard. But you do it.

I actually have an account on this platform still. Lol
I came here from reddit, completely new
Got banned by the corrupt mods a while back but with the moons news I am done with reddit
MFW I re-realize that this place is crawling with redditerzkidz

Welcome

I came here from Reddit lol.

i know, i know! this is a completely different initiative compared to #nostrnovember 😆 or maybe i'm just getting started early! 😆
i see your comments <3 you're not a hard ass after all 😆😆😆
I made an account but I’m too young to comment lol 😂
ok bryan, i'll see you next summer then and i look forward to it.
yaaaaay! can't wait!
LMAO moderator removed my comment bc I didn’t have enough karma. What a fucking joke of a social network
Oof. Really? Not enough social credit to post. How do you earn credit if you're not allowed to earn credit?
Be a commie cuck on political subreddits or be an e-girl… unfortunately I can’t be either of those
> Can you earn Crypto on Nostr?
> You can't earn Crypto, but you can earn Bitcoin.
Absolute legend 🤙
reddit is cancer
Does nostrudel.ninja support communities too i believe ?
I have my moments.
Welcome🫂
> I think the way to solve that is to have a global cross-community feed and to surface active communities.
The default sort is already "last active" for communities on Satellite.
But I still agree with you discovery needs to be a LOT better
Welcome! 🙏🏽
Welcome!
Welcome 🤙
I've been recommending satellite.earth to everyone today (as well as nostr.kiwi ) Keep up the great work.
Lots of buzz around this post - nice one Derek 👏
Thanks! Wait was that you who posted that the in r/cryptocurrency?
Nostrudel and Flycat also support communities. For future reference you can check for features like this at
Feature Matrix for Nostr Clients
Feature Matrix for Nostr Clients
Feature matrix for nostr clients
I'd love to help but I can't use reddit anymore because my client of choice stopped working due to draconian API changes and I refuse to use anything else but my favorite client.
We are on fire.
I did to for the greater good 🤣 just posted a comment
Then we must give them the cure.

Me too. I miss Sync for Reddit. I tried to get the dev to build on Nostr, but he turned it into a Lemmy client 🥹
Activitypub is such a shitcoin it's unreal
I came here after your post, but it's a bit clumsy to use so far. Let's see how things go, at least your timing was impeccable
Oh golly. I forgot I have a Lemmy account 😂😂😆
Last used 3 months ago. Never got into it 😂

I think you've done pretty well over there.
I've never reddited but I repost you
Thank you sir. I appreciate it. We will drink beers in a few weeks.
You know it 🫂🤙🍻

You are awesome!
🫡🙌👏
💜💜💜
I'm just following in your footsteps! Keep up the great work.
Welcome
lol Derek, that’s beyond flattering!
You do A LOT here and you kinda held my hand when I joined 🫂🙏 Thank you by the way, I’m forever grateful!
I got off of Reddit a while back, but really that group is for sure the bunch that will come over easily! If I was still there I would upvote!
Models on the other hand 🙈 it’s a bit harder, but I will keep trying my best!
Together we will #GrowNostr 💜
You're welcome. 🔥
I just need to post more selfies I guess and show your friends that the model community is thriving here 😂😂 I may scare them off! 🫂💜🤙🏻
Now we just need the people from /r/bitcoin. Reddit, get on with the rugging, please.
Looks like we need an iOS candidate here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/s/zZWnvculOr
Maybe @Damus?
I see lots of purple pilling going on over there...
LFG🚀
I'm basically a pharmacist.
Wow, imagine living that life!! Must be tough.. Overall seemed to be interest.
💜🤣😂
You working on Nostr'ills?
Welcome to Nostr 🤙
This needs to happen more often. So many people still don't know about nostr.
Nice work! When people bring up the idea that all they see is vile racism and conspiratorial thoughts. They aren't entirely wrong, you can see some shit, but I think one of the most interesting aspects of Nostr is that you can control what and who you see and not some black box algorithm or some company wanting to use your data and serve you advertisements. I think we can do better to communicate why having control over your own personal media, consumption, and data is a better alternative than having someone or something decide what is right for you. As much as I despise nazis, I am a realist and as soon as you ban them they will just find some other soapbox to shout their vitriol from. So choose the alternative where you can customize your experience to whatever you want it to be. It's better for everyone.
Maybe some beach swimsuit shots will do the trick 👌😜
💜
Hmm. I'll be at a beach in Costa Rica for the Bitcoin Freedom Festival in January. I'll make it happen 😜
😂👌 can’t wait! You have some time to get bikini ready, you even have time for a few laser hair removal sessions if you want 🩲
So glad to see you take this step Derek. Lots of value on Nostr being missed by everyone on Reddit. Thankfully they are giving them a reason to leave. Trust is shattered.
Posted a comment but I'm not really a redditor so not such how else to help there.
Broke my vow to do #theNostronly by boosting this post. Forgive me.

You love to see it 🤌 

Good work sir.
🔥🔥🔥
People are so used to companies scraping and hoarding our data. It shouldn't be normalized.
Agreed. SMH. Also zapped.
