Welcome
Thanks ! What’s the news?
I have unfollowed all news, but it sounds like fiat world is melting down while bitcoin is melting up 🤙
What do you do for a job?
I'm a philosopher
Awesome. Practically how do you get paid or make an income as a philosopher?
You should know that this is a happy place, a free place. A place where you can be yourself and do whatever you like.
So: do what you’d like to do. Post shit, interact and enjoy 💜🤙
Thanks. Looking for good content to consume and connect with good people
welcome nostrich
Thanks . How’s life?
The #Amethyst discovery tab is a decent start!
What’s that? My app doesn’t have a tab for that?
#Amethyst client on android.

Yes definitely! How long have you been on Nostr?
A couple of years myself. Welcome.
Nice what’s the best app to use for iOS is it damus? Or is there a better one I should use
Well I’m biased. I’ve got my own Nostr iOS app, nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch, which I think is pretty great.
Welcome. Follow people I follow 🤷♂️
Thanks I’ll have a look!
Why is it not many people’s notes have little comments or engagement? Even big name people?
Much smaller user base than bird ap, less algorithm-driven scrolling (possibly) which could mean fewer percentage people see the note at all. Just some guesses
Can you see how many people have seen your notes?
Don’t think so. Would be impossible to get an exact number since there’s no central server anyway, and not aware of any sort of estimators out there
Interesting so is it literally just the order of post and that’s it? And you can filter to just those your following nice and simple
No, some apps let you view “trending” and such. Anyway, you’ll figure it out, and I’m not the best person to go much deeper
Do different relays do anything different?
If you're into dank memes follow nostr:nprofile1qqs8rm9tmzmtxd2gup6l7qdnz450lkse6zkz0zqx0kvn9rrdujy9jagpzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcqgvwaehxw309a38yc3wd9hsz9thwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmny2g9usr

welcome to #nostr! 👏
Thanks . How are you finding Nostr?
I am getting the hang of it. It is different from other social media. I find that you need to make an effort to find the content you want and the people you want to connect. Unlike the traditional social media platform, contents are served to you. Nostr is different. Don't be shy to play different clients and say hello to people! ✌️☺️
