Welcome!
Few things you should know:
1. get a check mark in Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me , once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest AMETHYST
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest MINIBITS for most people
6. last, don't marry one client, keep your options open, you achieve it by having your Nostr Address from one service and your wallet independent from your client, when you want to test another client you just configure your Nostr name and wallet on the new client. The client you are using may already be one that censors, one that is centralized...
have fun!
Welcome to Nostr, here few tips to get you started !
1. Setup your NIP-05 (Nostr ID), use nostrcheck.me or similar, some relays filter out those without one
2. Follow topics using hastags, a good way to find your tribe
3. Choose a Nostr Client that respects your privacy, I suggest "Amethyst" for Android, "Damus" for iOS, "noStrudel" for web Browsers, browse around, find yours.
4. Protect your private key, don't share it or use it directly, instead use a signer like "Amber" for mobiles or an extension like nos2x-fox for browsers
5. if you haven't set up a wallet for zaps yet, there are many options, Minibits, Wallet of Satoshi or my favorite npub.cash (all three allows you get a vanity address), or macadamia.cash native to iOS
6. You can get your own blog site or magazine with Nostr, Check my nostr site, rod.npub.pro , you can get your own site for free as well, give it a try, start writing! visit npub . pro
