#WelcometoNostr Day 9 aka #MarchOffTwitter Day 9

How do you mention another user on Nostr?

In some Nostr clients, you can type @j for example, and it will list display names you follow that start with @j (clients vary on this).

You can also copy and paste the entire public key / npub into your note.

But remember to put the @ symbol before hand, or you'll get this:

npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

Now try the exact same as above but now with the @ put before the public key, and it looks like this:

#[2]

That's better. Hello, #[3]

Unlike other sites, you can change your "username" on Nostr. It's the behind-the-scenes linking of your public key that keeps mentions etc. linked to you if you change your username.

Just FYI, I haven't tried changing my username to test it fully. Proceed with caution if you do. It might take relays time to reflect the change.
