@1bc70a0148b3f316da33fe3c89f23e3e71ac4ff998027ec712b905cd24f6a411 But I already have users with large communities on Soapbox. They already have their connections. They want newer and better ways to interact. The way discovery works is with the Local Timeline, eg: https://orwell.fun/timeline/local I am bringing this functionality to Ditto with NIP-05 domain filtering, so you can see all users with a "snort.social" nip05 for example, or any other: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1105
Identity is more important to me than discovery. The domain filtering (as a means of discovery) has just barely gotten us by, to be honest, and there's a lot of room for improvement, but I have still had years to build audiences and communities. Point is, bringing in new users is not my biggest concern, it's being able to support my existing userbases on my new software. I have to offer something significantly better.
Most other clients are building a social media app for the first time. I'm trying to find the most compelling reasons to use Nostr over ActivityPub. Focusing on this aspect is accelerating Nostr development because I literally HAVE to do it to be relevant. So that's why it's my biggest concern.
