Yes... 6 & 7 sort of tie together. No feedback is negative feedback when you're trying to make something happen. A lot of people show up not understanding the need to engage in order to really be seen. They just post notes & eventually give up. It doesn't help that "engagement" is a confusing set of ethics around here... I've grown to appreciate it, but if someone new doesn't understand the "societal norms", I'm sure that leads to a lot of misunderstanding about how their content/notes are being recieved. 😅

And now you have a sort of 2-5 follower hurdle to being seen, because otherwise your notes are often surpressed.
It seems like a difficult thing to convey compactly, but might help people to understand.
The welcome wagon does a decent job of mitigating that. I think low retention comes later when everyone goes back to their normal business.
The welcome wagon is mostly a myth and it's now fallen out of favor because LightX was pretending to be TikTok girls and collecting sats. When I arrived here, nobody noticed me and I had to tag people I knew from X, and reply to threads, to get the ball rolling. I think that's much more typical, and probably harder now because of WoT, since so many people won't see what you write.
People see 4 people arrive and get a warm welcome and don't even notice that another 4k arrived to stubborn silence. Primal actually was the first client that made it easy to find people, without wading through porn and Nazis on global, through their lists.
I wonder if the welcome wine relay catches new npubs from primal? I've noticed there's generally quite a break between activity from primal & the other clients I use, but I'm not savvy enough to know why.
