To be honest, that graphic is what X is like now, even with algorithms. Engagement and energy is just way down from the old days. And all the fake accounts don't help any. Even a censored place like Bluesky has more energy these days, go see for yourself.
But you're right that if you want engagement on Nostr you'll have to try harder than I have so far. But that's ok. Right now it works the way it should -- I get to see the content I want to see, chronologically displayed, not what the algorithm deigns to show me.
Completely uncensored chronological feed = underrated
Quality of content/discussion is far more important than quantity of followers. This is not X and shouldn't try to be.
Yep. We have been groomed to love the algorithms! YT, IG, and most others the same. No cognitive effort needed. No critical thinking required. Just slide into the bubble of your own making. Yikes!
Yeah except no one here talks about anything interesting no matter how much you try.
Only retards like me stay with you fags because we hate ourselves.
Nice repost of same content we have seen many time π
If you really want to contribute then create real world value first and then make it accesible through nostr.
Each to their own.
Ignoring nostr now is like ignoring Bitcoin between 2009-2012 and one day people will say "you got lucky for getting zapped on nostr early"
Exactly, just like how it was on Twitter in the beginning, it was people building a social network. At least it's cool to be part of this early stage π
The lesson here: Don't follow big accounts!
The ones that Primal suggests you should follow at initial set up. They're arrogant and mostly post crap. Take time to find your niche.

Nice. I want to engage more, although sometimes I feel I am only engaging to take something and not to add something due to my current limited knowledge on the topics that are most discussed and attract me the most.
Totally ok in my opinion.
You have to take more at first when engaging in new topics.
On the other hand, you might bring value even if you only ask questions.
Maybe you ask a question never ask before, shining a completely new light on a topic?
Definitely learning this the more I use Nostr. Engaging in conversation is more rewarding than shouting into the void and seeing if something sticks ( like on the bird app).
