The truth is you don't need so many of the client.
Choose wisely that make you feel comfortable.
You know Vitor created Amethyst, right? He's bumping others because so many follow him.
You don't need to choose at all. That's the point of Nostr. You can use all of them at the same time. They are all different, will show different content and allow you to do different things. Choosing doesn't make any sense. You are just going to be missing out.

I only know 'Primal' on that list because I followed a ling in a bio and created that account. What are the rest, or even Primal?
Is Primal.net a thing of it's own or some Mastodon server?
Also started with Primal, changed to FreeFrom, better feeling.
Primal is a dog shit client for android
you don't need the last three words of that sentence
Primal is a client, or an app if you will, built on top of the Nostr protocol. The Nostr protocol is a set of rules for communications using notes and other stuffs.
To put it simply, it's a set of rules, based on which, apps (read, clients) of different types can be built and all of which can communicate with each other like email. You have different email clients like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc. But the beauty is, these clients/apps can communicate between them.
Unlike Primal, Masotodon is not based on Nostr, but another decentralized networking protocol named ActivityPub.
Primal is one of the apps/clients of Nostr. Nostr itself is not an app. It just governs how apps built on it should behave. Primal is like X (formerly, Twitter). As nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z mentioned, there are tens of apps (maybe not a hundred yet) built on the Nostr protocol. Some are for microblogging or Twitter-like, some are alternative to Instagram (actually there's just one as of now, and it's called Olas), you have alternative to reddit, hacker news, Medium, Substack, etc.
So to put it simply, the existing popular apps/sites can be built using the Nostr protocol and the advantage of that from the point of end-user is having open, decentralized, permission-less, anonymous social networking where you are in control of your data.
Welcome to #Nostr.
So many apps out there , so little time to explore everything. I Take it slow π
Its called freefrom right? What's their github
*Coracle, *minibits
This is the correct way to Nostr.
That's a lot of apps for freedom! But it's worth it! π₯π₯
I donβt want to download so many apps β¦ :(
App fatigue at a new level
March
With all those apps my phone explodes π£π₯
I'm doing well with #amethyst so far it's the best thing on my phone π±
Not listed the best one. Jumble.social PWA.
nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 is highly recommended. Internal comms/teams I run nostr:npub1ht6s6d0xuscv0rkt09wt7y7wzfvs6d6uk3ysf3kan44a040hh2ds5q3f5x for external contacts
Never could get primal to work on grapheneos sadly. Nice on desktop browser though
I had the same issue. The problem for me was that the nsec I was logging into Primal with was first created using an app that uses the outbox model, such as Amethyst. When I created a new key pair using Primal, all issues resolved immediately. Unfortunately, the idea that you can take your keys and use it with any Nostr app only works in theory, not in practice.
IF... you're using apps with different relay models.
