Thank you to heatherlarson (npub1nl8…f9d0) for championing Nostr and Music 💜🧡 there is so much to do and so many ways to do it. Music plays a unique global cultural role, “how music goes, so goes the world.” Nostr is hope for a better global music ecosystem.

Rabble (npub1wmr…g240) asked, "What does a Nostr Community Growth Team look like?"

Maybe a coalition of folks from the different teams working on Nostr? Team Damus, Team Primal, Team wavlake (npub1yfg…v6vg), etc all joining together virtually to foster growth is what comes to my mind.

I’m on Team #V4V, which includes my podcast, #RadioDetox, Ainsley (npub13qr…almy), Wavlake, tunestr (npub1h8g…ps02), RSS Blue (npub1gr6…mmjc), fountain_app (npub1v5u…n0v5), & Phantom Power (npub1t6n…agv3).

(Much of the above stems from NostrPHX (npub1jwe…qha6))

I’ve onboarded 4 people to Nostr and I’m observing them having the same experience I had:

You join, kick some tires, and go, “OK, this is cool, but now what?” You don’t “get it” yet or don’t get the interaction you’d hoped for so you bounce for a bit. The learning curve scares you off. Or maybe you just don’t use it often enough because you’re still having to “be everywhere” to promote music or business.

I joined Feb 2023 and didn’t come back til the end of the year.

I just onboarded 2 coworkers who didn’t need my help setting up wallets and who haven’t been very active.

I onboarded a social media client of mine who likes it but doesn’t have the time to be active and who wants to learn more about Bitcoin. (Because, again, we’re very Bitcoin-centric here).

I onboarded Chrisnicholsmusic (npub10e6…3v0p), who hasn’t been active since. He’s a musician in the UK with a day job, and I keep poking at him to get on here more.

Which leads me to the purpose of #RadioDetox, and that is to tell the V4V story. I’ve so far had 3 music artists plus one music business executive on as guests. An interview with a dev is next.

I’m currently on a journey to talk to a few devs and BTS folks right now to make sure the podcast covers this aspect of the story.

I do plan to get back to talking with people like Chris to see what their impression of Nostr is (so far). Radio Detox is about detoxing off the old systems of the music business, money, and social media.

Guests (so far) like Ainsley, Sara Jade (npub17ye…zs99), and abeljames (npub1ucg…flfw) have shown a good use case for V4V using Wavlake and Tunestr.

I’ve talked to OpenMike (npub1a6c…lfrr), who runs Tunestr about the use case there and where he sees that headed.

There’s so much potential here and we’re only getting started.

I was talking with Phantom Power about how some of what we talk about on RD can become case studies in this movement.

I agree 💯 that we need a plan or program of some kind to support the creators we onboard. It can’t be just, “Hey come join!” And then we walk away… We also need to ensure these creators gain traction by being active on here and sharing content, which means some community involvement. The #Nostr community as a whole needs to embrace these creators—whether they’re in music, art, photography, etc.

If you want to continue the #GrowNostr conversation, LMK 🔥
