First time using Damus and exploring the free world. What’s the difference between this and Primal?

Hi Meknazee, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓
✅ Great, you've already set up your #lightning address! I just ⚡️zapped you some #welcomesats 😊
I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Thanks so much. My first zapped sats which I will use to zap others in the space! 🫡
I think my npub is on my profile?#checkmyaddy
I’d love one with my username instead though! 🤝🏼
Welcome! I think you will enjoy your time here. Both Damus and Primal allow you to use the Nostr protocol. Think of it as email. There’s Gmail and there’s Outlook. Both are email but give a different experience of email. The same applies with Nostr. I hope that makes sense.

damus is a nostr client, it talks relays and the nostr protocol directly. so you have completely control over what you see vs what primal is showing you. primal reads from a single relay that tries their best to get stuff from the wider network, but its not guaranteed.
primal has more features and feels more like what you would expect from a traditional social networking app. damus may feel more quirky, but it is more reliable and should never "go down" since it doesn't read from a single relay.
