Nostr Web Client

I came across a "deleted account" in my follows, someone who started on nostr over a year ago but gave up just recently. In their last post they said they'd genuinely tried but it just wasn't working out for them. However, when I checked their stats on nostr.band the results were unsurprising. They were not actively using nostr. They posted maybe 1 note a day avg., never zapped anyone (publicly at least), and only followed ~200 accounts. That is not "genuinely trying" to use any social network, including nostr. You get out what you put in with most things in life, and nostr is no different. It's ok to be a passive lurker, but if that's all you put in then you probably won't get much out of it. If you want to find depth of experience here, be present and active, and engage with people in meaningful ways using the features of the network that allow you to do so. You will make or break your own #nostr experience.

Are there tools built into nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 or nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg that allow a user to one-click-follow the top50 most active users?

Or other such nifty cheat codes?

I only recently discovered the most-popular-last24h button in Primal 😂

Hmm good question. Nothing in Damus like that. I'm not sure about Primal. I haven't seen anything in the Primal app, but their web client might have something similar to that. Tagging nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr in case he has a moment to chime in.

Also tagging nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 in case something like this might already be on Damus' roadmap.

You can manually trigger always show onboarding to see the suggested follows onboarding prompt.

It’s hidden and not ideal today.

Want to improve discoverability post onboarding.

For now practical advice is go to someone else’s follow list who you enjoy, and check their follows.

Good advises, lucky I found this post as I have just started my jorney to Nostr.

Still testing different web clients, as they all seem to have something good and something missing, so haven't found my favorite yet. And yes, I want client which works on web browser, in computer and in mobile phone as well. And it has to be able to handle Nsec.app sign in (sigh, Primal!) and Settings should be sticky even if you delete all the cookies as I do. Was going to test Alby extension on browser, just to find out that it requires Lightning wallet or node, which I do not have. Just another obstacle on the path which I would like to have avoided.

Just followed most of commenters in this post and realized that I have to improve my Bio, as I checked that for each one to make my final decision if pushing the Follow button or not.

I have to say, that getting started with Nostr is not the easiest task. Thanks for nostr:npub1r8wdfruydenz84fxfespcswuhcvyatx6umtd5xguexup49u500xskf50hn and her article, that was a bit easier. Piece by piece it is coming up and running, but lot of little things to screw up before you can start interacting with people effectively.

On positive note I decided to add #introductions tag, so someone else can pick it up for speedier start.
