Same! Even on NOSTR or Twitter it feels like I’m shouting into the void and the only engagement I get is from people I tag directly like @grayruby.
On Twitter maybe it’s because I refuse to pay for the blue check, but on Nostr there’s no “reason.” I’ve even got 1500 followers on Twitter and 350 on Nostr!
I think SN succeeds because there’s monetary incentive to look at brand new “recent” posts and zap em because you get sats back. Like you say even if it’s a small amount, it’s real money so there are stakes (instead of no stakes)
I made my first long form post today to great success. Offering real content for people to read here gives value! #708260
