Ha! ๐Ÿ˜† I have fun here every day! Any questions you might have please do ask. If you want help activating the ability to zap (send value), Iโ€™ll be happy to help ๐Ÿค™ Also, I just followed you.
I think that initial surge was just too soon given how new everything is.
Thatโ€™s a huge part of it, and how ppl here are very hostile to anyone that questions bitcoin dogma. Otoh, I feel like ppl will keep using it for a while so it could see a resurgence, esp since ppl are starting to see these issues and recognising that they canโ€™t post about crypto 24/7 since it turns off nearly everyone.
Yes! Welcome! Start following some of the more active accounts. With a lack of an algorithm, this is how you populate your feed and interact with interesting people. A good place to start is by checking out the #[1] which gives a daily rundown of news in and around the protocol. Some of the most influential devs and users are tagged there, so its a great place to curate your follow list. Enjoy!
Awesome. And what a wonderfully unexpected and warm welcome Iโ€™ve gotten here so far! โ˜บ๏ธ
Thanks for the warm welcome! I was very surprised to see a) that there is community here and b) that theyโ€™re so welcoming. Warmest welcomes Iโ€™ve ever gotten on a new social media toe dip. Iโ€™m very impressed. ๐Ÿ‘
Thanks for the welcome! And to answer your question: No. ๐Ÿค”
Apparently! I was surprised by how much response I got to my first post, without hashtags or anything. Iโ€™ve never seen that happen on social media before. Quite impressed by the community. Thanks for the warm welcome!
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I was surprised actually how many people saw my first post. I assumed especially since I didnโ€™t use hashtags or anything itโ€™d get completely buried, or that this would be a ghost town like so many other new social media apps. Imagine my surprise when a day later it had 20+ comments. Iโ€™ve never seen that before right out of the gate. Letโ€™s just say this communityโ€™s first impression has been stellar. ๐Ÿ‘ (Or should I say ๐Ÿค™)
Nothing wrong with being a little nutsโ€”and thanks for the welcome! ๐Ÿ™
There are a bunch of us who use a specific relay that attempts to show new users who are posting for the first time. Iโ€™m assuming someone picked your post up from there and then shared it with the rest of us! We love welcoming new people with different interests. Nostr was started by a bitcoiner, and is heavily influenced by bitcoiners. But it has so much more potential than being a bitcoin echo chamber, and we love sharing that. There is a movement here called #grownostr started by @npub15879...kv0n which is attempting to bring in new users with various interests like your self. Also check out #artstr Enjoy your time here, and donโ€™t hesitate to ask questions ๐Ÿค™ Hereโ€™s that welcome relay: wss://welcome.Nostr.wine And the original article about #grownostr:
Awesome! I figured it had something to do with how the relay system works. I had no followers really, so figured my post had to be reaching someone somehow. Thanks for the reply and Iโ€™ll definitely pop questions if I think of some. โ˜บ๏ธ
