Helloooo
I came after watching Ian Carroll give such a great review of this place!

Thanks for giving nostr a try, we're glad your here!
Welcome to nostr! 🫂💜
It’s social 💬 meets freedom and payments.
If your favorite social app had a child 🐣 with CashApp and the baby ate a magic shroom 🍄 to gain new superpowers... that’s Nostr in a nutshell.
What sort of superpowers?
Glad you asked! How about...
Zaps and the power of lightning! ⚡
Got a like? Nice. Got zapped for a comment? Cha-ching!
Send money for content you enjoy with a single click 🤯🥰
Love a meme? Zzzzappp! ⚡
Learned something new? You guessed it, zap! 🤯
It's love in both directions 💜Share something of value? Boom! You get zapped back. 🥹
You’re gonna luv it 🥰
Or stick to likes 💜 - that's cool. Payments are totally optional.
It’s not a single website or an app...
Say what now?
Yeah, it’s all of it. Every app made on Nostr just makes the protocol grow bigger and stronger. Like a raging hulk.
Nostr is like the new internet that connects any app on any platform as long as it’s compatible with some very simple requirements.
It’s powerful 🚀
When a new app plugs into the protocol, it automatically gains access to
ALL OF THE USERS.
Forget building an audience. It’s already here! Just be yourself! 🔥
It’s an entrepreneur’s wet dream. Wait, am I allowed to say this? 😅
Nostr is a giant mythical octopus with huge tentacles, each capable of crushing multi-billion-dollar industries.
🎤 Music, 💋 adult, 💻 creator economy are industries that are only the tip of the iceberg.
Just the tip.
There’s just one catch...
Nostr needs you!
Yes you, handsome developer ⌨️, designer 🖱️, memer, couch potato 🥔, YouTuber, influencer, instagrammer (is that a word?), progressive, conservative, libertarian, mom, dad, son, daughter, hero, villain ...
Someone has to build the new empire.
... and enjoy the journey 😍
Will it be you?
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the boring stuff... censorship resistance, not controlled by any one company (open source), no emails to sign up, no overlords, no de-platforming like tiktok, no shoving ads down your throat like FB...
Some call it a paradigm shift, we just call it another day on Nostr 🤷
Oh, and we’ve got NIPs 😲
(Nostr Implementation Possibilities)
Git yer mind outta the gutter, fren! 🐸
That’s right, there’s more than one way to Nostr. In fact, the possibilities are only growing.
So, grab a client (app) and join the party! 🎉
There’s Damus for iOS, Amethyst for Android, Iris and Snort for web, and many others too!
Please keep in mind: we’re exploring a new digital frontier. Things can feel a little rough around the edges.
Hope this gives you a good basic understanding of nostr and we're all looking g forward to your posts in the future!

Welcome 🙏🏻
Welcome to Nostr, you're going to love it here!
Here are a bunch of educational resources to learn more about the protocol, and why it's so awesome.
One thing's for sure: Just by being here, you are officially part of history 🤙⚡️
Thanks! Love that you’re carnivore. I’ve been Keto for three years now, loving it immensely, but this past week?? I’ve gone “mostly” full carnivore. Not intentionally either. 🤣 It just sort of happened! But I’m not seeing it do much different for me yet. I just don’t have the taste for much else anymore. I crave all sorts of meat though constantly, but I was that way with Keto anyway. Match made in heaven that diet and me!
Welcome to the party.
💃 I should be sleeping and resting up for tomorrow’s glorious festivities but instead I’m checking out a new social app. 🤦🏼♀️ thanks for the welcome! 😊
Same here! Still trying to figure out if this is more than just talk about crypto, guess we will see!
Welcome!
Welcome home!
