Open in Damus

@jb55 1697680393

Thanks to some analysis from our intern @Jeroen ✅ , according to opt-in AppStore analytics one of the biggest issues with Damus is user retention. 99% of people stop using damus after 6 months.

In the next version we will be looking at ways to get mores users to that “ah ha” moment that gets them to stick around like all of us addicts.

Ideas welcome! Notifications is obviously a big one, but maybe we could make it easier to get people their first sats.

What about having a notes feed tab only for the newcomers? Make them feel welcome and give them visibilty until they become part of the bigger network.

Also, I suspect a lot of users come from Reddit expecting communities like subreddits. But this app seems to be more like twitter. Profile centric, and that’s less valuable to them. I am one of these folks, where do I start adding my communities I like and how can I make one?

For me the search function is a BIG ONE : can’t find a topics I want to read about. Second, when I interact with a note and come back to the feed I have to scroll back down… so I just scroll down without interacting with notes. Third, trying to attract big fish to follow with great content and...

I don't think that this is a problem that Damus can fix alone. Developing the greater Nostr ecosystem help bolster the value of every app on Nostr. We are very much in a "Rising tide lifts all boats" enviornment. Seeing the value of having a Nostr account beyone just exploring twitter-like experienc...

Do you really need to make more users addicted? ;-) Let me do some self PR here. As a tech consultant / community strategist I'm also trying to explain why retention matters in a social network app focused on petrolheads of a client of mine (you can find the app Proudwheels in the stores). We are ...

Performance and cohesive experience. nostrdb and just reporting actual counts would go a far way. Things working in the way people assume them to work matters.

Does Damus still require the App Store or has this been fixed already?

kerimae · 151w

I'm new and have every intention of staying bc I get the bigger picture. But it's a big learning curve! Issues I still have: finding people to follow via the search (especially with hashtags), I'd like to actually follow a hashtag, and I can't participate with sending sats (sats/zaps...are they the ...

Honestly, I started with Damus, but I’ve found it to be lagging and freezing on me quite often, I still have it installed, and actually like the UI better than other apps, I installed another app to see if it was the app or my setup that was freezing, and this other app works just fine, glad to pr...

To be honest, I believe the most significant challenge in retaining users on the app is its exclusivity. Even for individuals who are enthusiastic about Bitcoin, freedom of speech, and value decentralized protocols in today’s world, it can sometimes become tedious, isolating, and appear purposeles...

Daily sats for discovering certain features of the app daily, obviously this tied to the apple ID not the nsec, this in order to avoid abuse. Doing so just for posts and reposts would mean an increase of SPAM on Nostr which is not ideal, instead if they post with a certain # we as community could s...

Just give them a few buttons to push to clone people’s follow lists. Guarantee Dorsey’s Damus feed is fire

I feel like I just see things as they are posting, which is cool, but I also want to see some trending topics over the last several hours in which I wasn't logged in. Is there a way of automatically searching posts that have gotten more interaction and interspersing them in my feed?

OpenMike · 150w

On the positive side, I am finally among the “one percenters” according to this statistic.

Nichrome · 150w

I'm one of those (among the minority here?) who still use other platforms like X alongside Nostr because they feel distinctly different. Nostr definitely feels healthier. I get the part about it lacking that same aggressive level of algo-fueled fine-tuned dopamine hits. I tried NOSTR via Amethyst a...

Add trending and other feed categorization, so I get something else than same bitcoin/nostr meme shit over and over. I don't have nostr, because I use android, but atleast on amethyst, there is no way to do any filtering. Primal is most usable client atm, but not available on app store yet. Another...

Glittery Animations and sound effects

The UX is what keeps me away from Damus. It’s the fastest to retrieve new notes and notifications. It’s also solid to show notes that maybe missing from elsewhere. The rest I find lacking. Some of the things I have noticed (by heart so sorry for errors/things already fixed): The notes are not...

1. Bookmark and star hashtags or the ability to follow specific hashtags. 2. Get nostr nest integrated into the app. So people can start or join instantly. 3. If nostr ecosystem is going to grow it going to need to cater to more audiences than bitcoin and #bitcoin wallets.

Well I ‘ve tried and used primal and plebster. Indeed the discovery on content and users fells different and nice due to their algos (primal), but for me its not as stable and consistent as Damus. Whatever you do , either “latest 24h”, “top notes” whatever, dont lose the great consistency...

One of Nostr's problems is that it is almost monothematic, focusing almost exclusively on discussions or memes about bitcoin. A much greater diversity of topics is needed. Here I miss discussions about science, humanities, politics, and current news in general.

I think the Sats received stat that I saw on nostr.band is the right idea. A major attraction to me is cumulative likes on TikTok and cumulative Karma points on Reddit, as a reward for adding something valuable to the conversation.
