Hey Andy. Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future of communication 🤙🏻🫂💜
I have a few guides and resources to help you on your Nostr journey. Lemme know.
Thanks Derek! Was looking for a new place to post and thought I’d give it a try. Interested in the best way to find interesting people and topics to follow if you have info on that.
You're welcome. Not all apps are the same. Some are better at finding people and content discovery. Some have algo feeds and various tools. The best way though, has always been to just be social, engage, and do the work to find people. So, comment on other people's notes, use popular hashtags when applicable, etc.
Welcome to Nostr! Check out my memes if you want and feel free to follow if you like it 😁
Welcome. Glad to have you on board!

Welcome!
Few things you should know:
1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt t
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev for most people
