Same for me but I also haven't posted much so maybe I just need to be more consistent and hope for the best. Or some nostr celebrity to "discover me" lol
I also tried to post smaller notes (basically crossposting what I post in the saloon) but also noticed a lack of engagement with that kind of content.
And I don't even want to post smaller notes:
A Twitter style social media never really appealed to me

That’s actually a smart idea. SimpleX is a good solution for DMs since you can create a new profile for each “place” you want to receive DMs from and it is anonymous and secure.

And nostr is like the opposite of that but there are more people DMing me on nostr though lol

Yeah, Nostr DMs are horrible and should either be fixed or removed from the spec. Most people on Nostr have no idea how much metadata is leaked by DMs.

Old post but I thought I would comment anyway.
I always without exception use a VPN, if not VPN+TOR on nostr. Nostr by design is on the internet forever and who knows who is running relays. Not a great situation if you ask me. In no way shape or form are DMs on nostr private and any meta-data there isn't private either.
