Yeah Sim and I have similar goals here. We both non-bitcoiners musicians looking to escape the control platforms and helps bring others along with us.

We are both trying to get the lay of the land so we can guide others here.

I just onboarded someone through Primal. I chose that app because they keep everything fairly simple but you finish with a wallet, a signer and a X-like feed within a few mins.

They now have a Nostr 'home base' but can easily explore beyond to other apps and use cases if they wish.

I'm pretty stubborn and must people would have suffered through of the misadventures I did to find my way here so finding the smoothest process for others was a priority for me.
