If you're trying to grow your NOSTR profile and are focused on posting new content, you're missing out.

commenting on other people's stuff is the way

think about it. there's no Discovery tool for people to find new accounts that are posting and everyone who is posting is starving for engagement.

This has been the same for growing an account on X, but it's even more drastic here.

I'm not really focused on creating any profile here at Nostr. Just sharing some of "my stuff" and thoughts with whoever shows up. I like to pop in at least once a day for a few moments. I'll post something, share something, zap someone and repost something.

Posting comments in others' posts creates network. Post on your own profile doesn't. Create network is the way.

This was how twitter grew so big in the beginning.

Seeing people coming here and doom posting trying to get a following is really sad. If we want to make a real difference, that isn't the way.

I like to reply... Is that what the recent reply guy bot is doing? building up a social graph by just replying to everything with an echo script?

Folks, nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 is right.

Seems like good, insightful advice to follow!

Most engagement I got as someone with little to no social media track record is indeed through this method

One thing is true, the comment section is worth reading in Nostr when the main post is a good one. Still not populated by hate, idiocy or spam. Hope it stays that way.

I concur

Excellent point well presented

It's a better place for discussion rather than making announcements, especially when compared to X.

Ben, thanks for this. One odd thing I found after reading this is that the number of replies to your post shows 116, however I am only seeing 15. I know we’re early but… is thing thing working or does it need new spark plugs?

Maybe not just a random comment. But a comment that gives value 😉

I believe it takes time for most nostr users to realize this. The discovery problem on nostr is similar to the internet before Google

I concur… This is actually how I’ve built a reputation (maybe not so many followers) on the old school social platforms. Just engaging with other humans and providing value when I can #v4v #valueforvalue
