An excellent primer on "how to nostr" for people coming from traditional / algorithm-based social medias.
quoting nevent1q…99n5Hi
I’m British, so I’m going to be awfully polite and use subtly and innuendo to convey my points.
You appear to have posted 13 notes and replied to around 18 posts and you appear to have around 12 followers.
I use the word appear here, because this is what your profile on Primal reports after examining the relay stats, which may or may not be accurate. This strange phenomenon is a feature and a benefit.
For me, that seems about right.
Here’s the reasons:
There’s no algorithm and no advertising here. Most of the bots are providing services like interfaces to ChatGPT dave (npub1tsg…htk4) or giving real time Bitcoin stats Moscow Time (npub1030…wcta) .
If an influencer shows up, they start from scratch, just like anybody else. There are a few who have accelerated their follower count by being automatically added to new users “following” by clients.
Users such as jack (npub1sg6…f63m) or jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) or Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9)
But apart from that, we are all equal and we start at the same place.
You will never be fed content you didn't ask for, the things you post may never be seen even by people that follow you (if they are not active at the same time) and you will earn the followers you attain because they are interested in what you have to say.
This is a different approach and one we mostly appreciate.
Give it some time, you might find a different way is a better way. If you don't, don't worry, all social platforms and even this social "protocol" are optional.
Go and touch grass in the mean time, that is real life and far better than any social network OR protocol.
Enjoy.
