I searched on TikTok today before the ban to see if anyone was talking about Nostr, and I did not one recent post about Nostr, let alone one that looked well made or got any traction. I think those of us who understand the cultures and communities in other platforms should get used to promoting Nostr if we ever want it to be seen as a viable platform for the mainstream. I see often the culture on Nostr is that we are "better" than the users of other apps, and I don't think that's a recipe for growth. To be honest, looking at the state of Nostr vs other decentralized platforms, I don't think we can afford to skip our on these major opportunities to take in new users. That being said, Nostr clients I've used do not currently excel at video content, so it was always going to be a hard sell anyway.

Exactly. Nobody knows this place exists and if they did, they’d be disappointed quickly and leave.
Most people on Nostr want everyone to come here, even people they disagree with. Some people think they’re different from the tiktokers, when they aren’t. I was spamming comments about Nostr, have been for about a month. I think I got one person to join. We definitely need to build a TikTok clone asap.

I see a zap button on your note but can't zap you for some reason. Just letting you know in case that's not deliberate.
