I once again find myself doom scrolling too many other social media apps. I keep failing in my attempts to be on Nostr more often but I will once again try.

maybe because nostr isn’t interesting enough..
It’s a hell of a drug….

It’s harder to make mutuals here. Engagement lacks too.
The trick is to enjoy that :)
deactivate everything. you are wasting your life.
I was in the same boat. Eventually I just quit everything else cold turkey.
Deleted and went full #nostr and never looked back.
Delete X. Problem solved
Nostr is usually too boring for doom scrolling.
It's good when you're craving knowledge unfortunately the scope of that knowledge is very very narrow (learnt a lot of Bitcoin and the nostr protocol itself on here but not much else)
Do not 'try'. Hesitation is a flaw. Erase all other apps. Keep Nostr. Victory is life!
It is what you make it.
I followed the top recommend ~800 or so accounts, it still doesn’t keep my interest.
Delete them
Search hashtags. Expand your network
*lemme follow the nostrslop normie list instead of creating my own. I’m sure that will work perfect”
X is where I prefer to get my news from but it’s just filled with so much garbage, rage bait, and AI slop at this point
Are there any features from other apps you miss? As in you’d like to see them built on Nostr?
Harsh but true
I love Nostr but I struggle with this too. I need to expand my following and search more hashtags but sometimes letting the algorithm show you something you’re interested in is nice. And I hate that I can admit that.
No. At first I tried to make nostr into twitter and find bots/news to follow so I knew what was going on. Then you start to realize it doesn’t matter and you don’t need to know what’s going on all the time.
Just find some good follows and let it rip!
Appreciate it
News don’t matter. Find piece and quit X.
They're all getting terribly worse, well except Nostr
Directly deleting crap social apps sets you free 🗽
Genuine question - how has #Nostr improved over the past 6 months to a year? I haven’t been as active and want to know where to look.
This is only my second month on here so I honestly couldn't tell you
Yeah I was thinking the same, so I started reposting useful X stuff here...
Twitter is great for news and discovery
Nostr is peaceful
Both have a place
Doomscrolling is passive. Nostr is participation. Maybe the failure isn't you, it's that you're trying to replace consumption with community.
