My experience is that referrals have a really low conversion rate, regardless of how receptive someone seemed.
I've also had no success with SN referrals, but that won't stop me from sharing my approach.
I mostly drop referrals on people who are lamenting that there is no good alternative to Reddit. Depending on what aspect of Reddit they're complaining about, I tell them that SN has really high level engagement and isn't full of left-wing cancel culture mobs, but that it is quite focused on Bitcoin and economic topics (maybe our burgeoning sports community will bring some people in).
If I happen to see a post about something that also has a great thread on SN, then I'll post a link and make a pitch to hop into the SN conversation.

good idea
I dont really spend any time on reddit but maybe we need more SN envangelism in r/bitcoin

I was actually talking about posts on Minds or Nostr. I don't spend any time on Reddit, either. Once I discovered SN, Reddit got dropped.

ah i see
I need to be spending more time on nostr, right now it's just SN and a toxic relationship with twitter
reply
I use nostr, primarily, because I want to add to the network effects that will ultimately help it attract users. I rarely have any meaningful engagement over there, but I want these Big Tech alternatives to work, so I try to give other users some meaningful engagement.
It seems like the people who are really thriving on nostr are the nostr devs.
