I understand why you don't like Twitter, I have always been allergic to it. Every time I followed a link to a Twitter page and read a few extra replies, I got the emotional equivalent of hives and nausea. Since these links to Twitter post now only expose the single post made by someone, it's much better! But what I don't get, yet, is what Nostr is supposed to be good for. I don't feel like I can search for Nostr content to educate myself, nor can I get my questions exposed to the right persons so they can answer them, nor can I get exposed to questions by others which I might be able to answer. It might just be a matter of time until I find a reason, but so far it often feels like a waste of time to scroll around Nostr, just because I like Freedom Tech.

welcome to thr #nostr tribe! Don't worry it is normal to feel a lil bit lost because his is new to ypur way of interacting social media.
As someone who is fairly new here like yourself, less than a month of consistent use of Nostr.
Here what I found:
1.) You need to make an effort to find the content, people and tribe that you want to connect with. For starters, explore the hashtag which every Nostr client has it.
2.) Helping guides about Nostr: I posted a note here with the links and feel free to read them:
3.) Nostr is new and so does its clients. Therefore, take your time and be patient with it. Importantly, you are thr algorithm. It means you choose which client suits your needs. You may prefer a client that has algorithm like the centralised platforms that feeds onto your attention (luckily this is not available yet but it does not mean technically impossible!) or you could choose clients that are less evasive on your attention, read notes in chronological order or by hashtags or by topics. The topic categories is getting better.
4.) Lastly, if you have questions, I find that using #asknostr is very helpful. A lot of people respond to questions through it because I used it a lot.
I hope this helps and we are excited to have you around! 👌🤓🎉👏
Cheers, M
