Expand the number of Nostr clients you use.

If one is blocking other users or topics, you can use other clients to bypass these blocks. It is trivial to move to another client (mostly, 👀 looking at you ZBD), with your posts, and follows intact.

This is the most important feature of Nostr, your data is not locked in. At a moment's notice you can drop a bad client, and choose something else.

Developers should keep this in mind as well, it now costs me nothing to switch to a different social network front end, and there are dozens of them already for the Nostr protocol.

If you don't jump around between clients you might not even notice the shenanigans the devs of your current client are pulling. Switching is the best way to spot those oddities.

Any recommendations other than Amethyst? I tried Primal. Wasn't a fan of the UI for some reason. Meh.

I mostly use Amethyst personally

I've been enjoying https://satellite.earth/ their interface for communities is the best so far I think.

nostrnet.work is also a cool way to check out a whole bunch of different Nostr clients & tools. I recommend it highly. Works best as a PWA.

Iefan did an amazing job on nostrnet.work. Much respect.

I'll check out satellite. Thanks. 👍

I just learnt this today from another user. My tab kept crashing.

I like how this one is not letting porn trend so sticking with this one.

That's the awesome thing about Nostr. You have a choice 🫡
