My main question is what is being done to onboard people into the app? I'm here, I'm new... not sure how to use it.... most other zoomers/millenials would have a far lower attention span and have moved on by now.... I'd like to find out more... not sure where to go for reliable info on it tho...

The number of people here is not what the network optimizes for (in comparison to twitters, facebooks, etc). As far as I can tell the network optimizes for utility.
The more useful it is, the better.
The number of people is a second effect of that, but the number of people isn't that important.
i don’t believe the focus is necessarily to onboard folks. i’m of that demo and I’m here just cuz i like exploring new social mediums and i have an appreciation for emerging tech. but this protocol isn’t the type that’s gonna very actively invest in onboarding folks who don’t “get it” as that doesn’t necessarily contribute to the nature of the ecosystem
#nostrnewb and #asknostr have some info and nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac is a good person to follow. always sharing stuff for new people. also good ol youtube tutorials were pretty helpful to me
i see nostr as a create your own adventure sort of deal and you bump into folks along the way that help you or can relate to you on your journey
have fun and peep #grownostr for the “normal” stuff
I agree on boarding needs work and the general user experience in most of the clients needs work.
But it's a space in rapid development and I think the next 5 years will look great for Nostr as a protocol.
Personally, I am here to find other BTC Maxis. I am not on board with the whole laser eyes thing, it's a tad cringe to me, same with wizards.
