What client are you using?

Hashtags give you reach and can find what you want. Some clients work better in some ways than others.

Once your following enough active people your feed will light up like normal.

Much appreciated 🫢 I'm sure I'll figure out how to navigate it eventually πŸ˜…

Definitely try different clients. Mix and match till you find the one(s) that work for you.

What is this talk of clients? πŸ˜… Man, I'm so lost πŸ˜‚

How are you accessing Nostr? Primal, damus, amethyst, etc.

That kinda gives us a starting point to help you through set up.

Appreciate your input 🫢 I'm using Amethyst.

Damus for iOS. There is others.

Nostrudle.ninja (web based)

Coracle

Primal

There are way more than this.. maybe 30-50 that allow you to get onto Nostr. Some have different features. I usually am on Damus.

Aah, I'm using Amethyst...so that's my client? Every day is a school day πŸ˜πŸ‘

Thats a great one! You will go far with that one. But trying others helps also. Then join cornychat.com for live nostr people who will help you by voice.

Seconding cornychat. We love newbies there. Tell them Sparrow and The President or Rupert sent you.

Thank you, thank you πŸ™ What a frenly bunch of peeps we have over here 🫢

Yes! Hey, Android buddy!

Android FTW πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

Amethyst is a really nice one -- i'm liking it too

A little bit…

The hardest (confusing) part for me is that I wasn’t seeing any interactions unless I manually clicked into my individual posts.

Got that fixed by the First Aid feature of the Damus app

Next piece was just understanding the verification / vanity URL vs the public key as means of sharing my profile with people.

Working on the last bit now, Lightenting (not in a position to create a wallet securely until tomorrow)

I think I might be out of my depth πŸ™ˆ maybe I'm too much of a normie to be here πŸ˜‚

Nah don’t give up.

Just take it one micro step at a time.

You already are interacting with people.

Next go field by field in your profile to get all you want setup in there.

Do one a day or every other day as to not overwhelm ya

Thank you for the encouragement πŸ™ I will persist till I find my groove πŸ’ƒ

It's a learning curve. Just like using bitcoin the first time. But in the long run totally worth it.

Thanks for the encouragement. I shall prevail! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

we totally felt the same way in 2022 and still do πŸ˜‚

Nostr is def. not perfect, it’s only 3 years old so it should get better and better..

Primal might be the easiest client to start with.

Thank you for the heads up! I'm currently on Amethyst and trying to fund my feet so I'll stick with this for a wee while and then explore the other client options. Appreciate you fam 🫢

Fund your feet...

You got a shoe collection or funky feet that need work?

Hahaaaa πŸ‘ *Find not fund. I lost them when I was out drunk the other night πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚

That's an entirely different problem...

All G.

Mad props for jumping in πŸ‘ŠπŸ½πŸ’œ

Feet first baby, feet first! πŸ˜‚

You can keep it simple:

1. Follow everybody

2. Tell them what you think about what they post, engage in conversation. Yes, a gif meme is also conversation.

3. Post whatever you like. Just get it off your chest. Again yes, a gif meme does it.

That's all really. The rest is irrelevant.

So, Keep It Simple Stupid then? 😁 Gotcha! And thank you 🫢

At first it is, but you’ll get the hang of it

Thanks for the vote of confidence πŸ˜…

I believe in you! πŸ˜‚
