That’s actually one of the things I can’t quite figure out about Nostr. It looks like a very lonely place for a lot of people, which puzzles me because so many of the people I’ve encountered her...
Just throwing my opinion in here, I’ve been on Nostr for a few years. I was never a big enthusiast of social media, but was encouraged to check out Nostr by one of the developers of Brainstorm, which was in its infancy then.
Nostr was described as a practical way to sell artwork for Bitcoin. It’s been expanding like crazy in its practicality since then. There are so many things that Nostr can do now because so many different ideas are being developed - zap.cooking is one of them!
The thing is, a LOT of folks want Nostr to be a real time social media experience. They hop on Primal or Damus or Amethyst and want to chat with people.
The thing is, most of the people on Nostr aren’t just hanging around chatting, they’re busy building stuff or spending outdoors or working on another Nostr project. They ARE the people on Nostr. So some folks said Oh, well I guess we should go on X so we can see what everyone else is doing in real time. Less real life activity = more time on social media.
Again, just my opinion.
