Your followers are posting absolute fire and I have no idea they exist.
That’s the reality of Nostr. We’re all living in our own network bubbles. The people you follow and interact with every day? I’ve probably never seen them. And the people in my feed? Completely invisible to you.
No algorithm mixing us together. No corporate feed forcing connections. Just pure decentralized chaos where entire communities exist parallel to each other, never touching.
Some of you have been around me for months or years. We’re locked in. But your followers? The people YOU think are brilliant? I’m missing all of them. And you’re missing all of mine.
This is both Nostr’s greatest strength and its biggest challenge. We actually have to work to expand the network. Discovery doesn’t happen automatically. It happens through reposts, through signal, through people actively bridging their networks together.
Right now, someone in your follow list is dropping knowledge I need to see. Perspectives that would shift how I think. Content that matters. And I’m completely blind to it because our graphs haven’t connected yet.
So here’s what I want. I want to see who YOU follow. I want your network to crash into mine. I want the people you respect to show up in my feed.
If you’ve never interacted with my content before, if we exist in different parts of this protocol, REPOST this. Let your followers see it. Let’s smash these network bubbles together and see what happens.
This is how Nostr actually grows. Not through algorithms. Through us actively choosing to expand the graph.
Your people need to meet my people. Let’s make it happen.

NoStrudel has a feature called Blindspot that lets you see the timeline of who your followers are following that you aren't following
That’s interesting
Nostrudel is quiet innovative , I love this project
it's mostly circle jerking and preaching to the choir. not missing much
Finally some honesty
This is why I created these feeds in Nostur, yes they are algorithms, but actually useful to us instead of a platform or advertisers.


Ok. Did not know this existed. Thanks Fabian
I've never thought of it like that, cheers man 🙏
Despite this, I actually prefer #nostr to be this way (most of the time). It actually helps me let go of chasing the algorithm and the anxiety of FOMO.
I can be "offline" from #nostr, not feeling any regret and not devolve into a try-hard to appease the algorithm and follower counts.
Just my 2 sats. 🤷
personalIy I see many reposts and mentions in original posts, which all IS a discovery for me.
and sure, interacting always helps!
+ it’ll do good for Nostr to introduce some more discovery features.
It’s all happening 👏👏
We’re on our way
Excelent.
Our worlds will collide
Or maybe they never will
The struggle is real

I never understood why some people hate reposts so much 🤷♀️
Reposts are paradoxically both the problem and the solution for content discovery.
FWIW im glad you are on my feed 😂
Its worth a lot!! 🤙🫂
Following users matters on Nostr if you wish to see content. Reposting helps.
Against better judgement, I open the firehose daily and continue to mute all of the bot/porn/foreign language accounts, and work to find signal amongst the leftover noise. Follow every one of them.
A handy feature on Primal or Damus would be a firehose filter if one doesnt already exist.
Fire hoses are dangerous. lol
Similar to real life
This is the way to networking on Nostr. I want to follow people that are contributing value ⚡️

35 reposts Sheeesh! Zap goals ⚡️
This is the way
i just sometimes feel ignored when i ask a question in the comments and i am not sure if the person doesn't want to answer the question or if it is not seen — nostr is pretty weird
You need to start following people bro
Never mind. I see you do. It wasn’t loading.
I agree ☝️🔥
Coinjoin the bubbles
