i'm new here and learning the ropes.

what seems to be wrong with being "onboarded with primal"?

why do i get weird vibes from some users who think it's a gross or not the best gateway to nostr?

-KYC wallet

-a trending algorithm that always pushes the same content from the same people.

-in the past they have censored users.

Also, there are clients some people find better. The Primal app has issues with notifications during hellthreads, and isn't the best for key security, requiring you to enter your private key, rather than using signing software that keeps your key more secure, and easier to use with other apps, enabling you to use the entire Nostr ecosystem.

If recommend checking out other options, just to see what is available. The best part of Nostr is choice. Your data here is yours, and follows you to any app you sign into.

Check out Amber, that's the app for handling key security on Android. You save your nsec into Amber, then it will let you sign into other apps and Nostr web apps, keeping your key secure. I also would try Yakihonne, it has great support for long form articles. Voyage is good too, for a lighter text only client, with great discovery features.
