What the heck is a social graph?!?!? You are NOT a noob! I am the newb! I'm contented to scribble my notes on the pictures and heart the adorable stuff and lol the hilarious stuff... Social grapht... Good grief!

Just got to put in the proof of work. Find a handful of people to follow, then engage.

Here we don't discriminate. Including white straight men

I learned a lot in this thread. Thanks everyone for the tips about how to improve the Nostr experience!

It takes more time, but with a bit of patience I'm sure it'll grow on you. I have come to appreciate the distinctly different feel over the other platforms, but it took a while.

Hey Nick 👋 welcome! I would call me a nostr noob as well. I’m learning new stuff every day. Specially from this note and all the replies you got

Maybe just unpatience. For example I wanted to leave Youtube, but I couldn't find my favorite channels on alternative solutions. Once I found 50% on alternative solutions or the most valuable ones to me, I started to use them primarily. Why don't you copy and paste your Twitter posts on alternative solution and give it some time? If you don't move, how can you expect your followers on Twitter to move?

If you have come to nostr to replicate your previous experience, what is the point. First step will be to discard what you have already learnt, then you may be ready to learn something new.

Welcome, followed. No hurry no worries. Nostr isn’t a business you don’t have to win here.✌️

less "content" is what we all need. scroll until it's "done" than go outside and Little a spoon on the porch.

Discover more people from the boosted posts of the people you already follow. Your feed will grow organically and be of much higher quality than anything an algorithm could give you.

The graph is one thing but most-zapped is the other thing! Zaps are an under-appreciated tool.

It’s called shitposting, fam. Try it sometime.

Post pics of your dog. If you don’t have a dog I’m outta ideas.

Wallet is number 1 issue if you wanna experience nostr’s magick

Felt similarly but after a year I’ve got some traction and better use. Have you tried being Lyn Alden?

Following a lot of people rather than being really selective about your follows is a good strategy here. You see way more conversations and good posts that are “one hop away” from your graph that you’d otherwise miss. Also I follow a handful of hashtags that are really helpful for branching out, but there is some risk there, fyi. I’m hoping clients start making some features (and/or thinking of doing this myself on the relay side if it’s not too much work) to help with the problem of spam and porn in global. More integrated web of trust visibility will help there as well.

It’s a weird concept. You follow the people you want: Frens that you respect, admire or make you laugh… and then, you see those individuals on your feed, you interact with them when they post insightful notes, either commenting and/or zapping those notes with lightning ⚡️ After a few weeks/months/years, your account grows organically.

Try coracle's custom feeds. Lots of options there, and some pre built ones under "Manage Feeds". Here are a few to get started with: View Event → View Event → (Open this note in coracle)

There is no easy mode. Algos were always a bad idea. The aim of the game is effective social connections, not followers at all cost. You earn your social network by, you know…..networking. The old fashioned way. Not by being fed like a baby bird from the mouth of Elon. I’m not in anyway trying to be abrasive. Just to help you see that the algo and ‘discoverability’ is exactly what makes your time on Nostr better and more effective in the long run. No more passive choices being picked for you….time to choose your own adventure! I’m sure you’ll love it in the end.

I think it’s a work in progress and like any social media out there, you still need to engage and build a following.

Welcome! You crossed the Rubicon.

well Nick i found your post because you are trending on snort.social . I hope that helps.

I have no engagement on Twitter (apart from bots), so no hardship transferring across here. Also great not to have a character limit…

The lazy way: use Primal client for a while. It has built-in algo's like 'Trending 24hr'. Then follow those poster frens you like.

make people follow you (threaten them with violence or something if they don't; that'll work for sure)
