Look at #Flotilla and ChaChi Chat, as well as what nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpzamhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsul2dhz is working on with WhiteNoise. We'll have superior community group clients on #Nostr. They just need a little more time to cook.
Ok, so basically, the kind of group community features that people currently rely on Telegram for are perfect for a local, multi-category, members-only communications channel.
Which Nostr client offers or is actively developing these capabilities?
Is SimpleX the answer? I haven’t explored its group chat options enough—does anyone have insights?
It almost feels like a boots-on-the-ground recruitment effort is needed for a collective switch within well-organized, connected local communities. That would be ideal.
All Bitcoin communities should transition off WhatsApp and Telegram ASAP!
For instance, I know that nostr:nprofile1qqs254dy0xkkjdxsl4u08k7cs52u689q67s3pqfwwyfcp4va7avcjdgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjwe5k2aewvdhk6qgewaehxw309amk2mrrdakk2tnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0hs7rtx uses WhatsApp, and the Bitcoin Beach community in El Zonte relies on Telegram.
But hearing about real-life community members being impersonated and people falling for Telegram scams, causing real-world ruptures within the community, is what's stirring this exploration for me.
It seems entirely possible to spread a compelling enough message that would inspire freedom-minded people to tighten their ship.

Discussion
Is Flotilla android compatible? What about the others?
Flotilla has an Android app. You can get it on the Zapstore.
ChaChi is a web client. chachi.chat
WhiteNoise had a very alpha Android app last I saw. Not ready for prime-time yet.
Thank you! What are you working on?
Me? Not much. Just helping folks understand the tools that are available to them, and how to use them most effectively.
Are you open to connecting with folks via live call? I would super love to pick your brain on all of that. I love you chiming in with such depth of knowledge on the tools.
I would be. Can use nostr:nprofile1qqsp8luyzs4x2f3y2yjvrq8m2dpvagfs64v0a3753qqe68dw02k2rzspr9mhxue69uhks6tkv46xzmrt9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5qsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf0yz0prj. I'll have a lot more time for such after Monday.
Cool. Would love to try that 🤓
