Dear Nostr/Damus/Lightning community,

I’ve had now a few interactions in this new and exciting place, but almost always when I open the app it just shows blank, no notifications 🔔 and no new zaps ⚡️. Like sometimes it works and connects well, but most of the time it is rather difficult to reconnect with messages or reposts posted a few hours ago 🥲 Any ideas?

You need to follow a ton of accounts there is no algo to feed you content.

Welcome to nostr btw

Started with you!

Welcome home! 🫂🎨

Probably because you're following too few people.

There are many musicians like you here, you could start following them. 🤙

Gotta find those musicians! Thank you 🙏

Engaging and following more people who are of interest to you will give you a better experience. You can also try other clients like Primal. 🤙

And, welcome to Nostr 👊

Hi, is Primal a whole new social network? I still have to wrap my head around Nostr. Thank you for your response. Followed you!

Primal is a social app that runs on the #Nostr protocol. Nostr is more like a “Social Internet”. The social network is a big part of it but unlike most “social networks” where you have one central entity like “facebook” or “xitter” your social network goes with you rather than you having to go to the social network.

There isn’t one place or one platform or one type or app, there are many different and unique ways (apps, sites and platforms) for you to experience your carefully curated social network.

It might take a bit of time to curate but the end result and payoff is potentially creating an environment that is conducive to your creative growth and really your growth as a person.

We become what we surround ourselves with.

Surround yourself with what inspires you.

Thank you so much!

Thnx for the zaps, my frens.

You can also follow #’s of subjects that interest you to find your people.

Trueee ❤️

Follow me! 😊

Did that, thank you for the zap ⚡️⚡️⚡️

If this is still an issue, try the first aid under settings

As for zaps have you connected your wallet to Damus?

(Out of curiosity which wallet you using with Damus…I need to connect mine here and move away from Primal I think)

I use Wallet of Satoshi, but I am a newbie, so I am still not too sure if I can recommend. :) Works fine for now, but have not tried to zap ⚡️ some into my hardware wallet etc.

Yea in the US I can’t download the app (I’m regulated by Apple App Store 🤦‍♂️)

Oh, damn. The iPhone is probably the next thing to be decentralized 🤩

This still happens to me when I am underpowered, in low bandwidth, weak cell coverage, etc. I tend to wait, or go to Primal (I am primarily posting from Damus, my basecamp), or OpenVibe, and try to post there. If they open slowly or buffer, then I do something else for a bit. I ALWAYS return to #nostr. I am such a fool for The #nostr.
