Twitter was not good either. Only very few interactions with other people. What I did find useful were the tweets by utilities companies from my town and stuff like that, public announcements from public entities. But for that I used nitter or just twitter without being logged. Now I do not visit twitter or nitter. 
In nostr I used iris and amethyst. My experience was similar in both.

Stacker does have excellent engagement. That's what's made it so successful. When Nostr gets its upgrades, its marketplace clients (literally goods and services), and some content creators, it's going to shine. How was Twitter engagement for you? And what Nostr client did you use?
