Hi, Nostr!
At your service with all things news, with a focus on promoting independent journalists.
I'm learning my way around here, which is a little confusing! Any tips or feedback are appreciated.
You can find more info about me at the link in my bio, and feel free to reach out!

Hey and welcome
Hello Violet and welcome to nostr. I don’t usually recommend adding a lightning wallet to new nostriches, but for anyone providing a service right out of the gate should really have a way to get tips or in this case zaps.
Thank you, I tried but it's just too confusing. People have explained it, and I still have no idea how to do this.
Use #noStrudel and add #coinos wallet. In noStrudel go to settings, lightening, add coinos wallet and set auto pay with Web LN. Will be able to zap and receive instantly. Coinos is not KYC and don't even need an email address if do not care about getting notified. Stack starts growing send to cold storage.
Can someone tell me how to turn off the requirement to enter my Pin every 3 minutes?
Pin? What app are you using and are you on desktop or mobile? When I get home I can try to help talk you through a lightning wallet if you want.
I was posting on Primal desktop. I was also not getting notifications. And then Primal completely froze up on me. Now I’m replying to you on Damus. I would appreciate any help, thank you!
Personally I prefer damus for social media over primal
Do you already have a lightning wallet? If not and you just want something fast and easy, I would set up a strike.me account, it is a Bitcoin exchange, but you can also set up a lightning address and use it as a custodial wallet
I do not have a lightning wallet. I have an account at crypto.com because it seemed like the most user friendly app but I couldn’t find a lightning wallet option. Is strike.me an easy set up for people like me?
Should be, I setup mine years ago when I was even less tech savvy than my current low tech status
Okay, thank you. I’ll try it. Deep breath… why is it so overly technical and difficult, lol.
I think it’s more intimidating than complicated really… it seems harder than it really is
But also if no one else has warned you, you have to remember there are going to be bugs in Nostr. Nostr is still in its infancy… like worldwide web in 1992, but one of the awesome parts is that us non-techie people are shoulder to shoulder with the developers and sometimes you will be the one to find a bug or suggest a feature, and one of them might fix it
Here is a referral link to them https://invite.strike.me/J5YUS0
Another wallet I’ve used is the speed wallet at speed.app
Also, can someone recommend the best desktop client to post fast-breaking news links and short video clips? Primal seems to keep freezing up on me. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't know for your exact purpose but #noStrudel is the absolute best DT client for me.
Welcome! Keep in mind nostr it isn't just a social media platform like Twitter but a protocol that can house every social media app and much, much more. Here are some links to get your off on the right foot:

welcome! 👋
Welcome! 
Welcome. How many journalists help for the stories? You may have some kind of list of journalist, helping to create your feed?
Thank you for the welcome! I'm flying solo and, while I have wonderful sources, I really need a whole team to get accurate info out fast.
Thank you for your transparency. Might you create a list of sources you are considering?
And you plan to rewrite text for nostr user. So kind of second source. Or is the plan to go out and creat a primary news source?
Where are you from by the way? (Country)
I publish both primary (my own investigations) and secondary news (with an emphasis on promoting independent journalists, although I'm not above appreciating mainstream networks.)
My sources are all over the board. I never know where I'm going to find info or a story lead. I'd also like to create a community on Nostr where people can contribute info to a news story, where we all work together to figure out the facts.
I'm in the US, where it can be a challenge to get info from news media censored by the US government (Russia and China, for example) but there are ways around that and another reason to create a Nostr news community!
