Hello, NOSTR folk... I am looking to break free from the funky matrix of meta and the rest of the "gang" that uses our social media addiction to enrich themselves. I don't want to be a part of it anymore. The doom scrolling and the buying of CRAP that isn't even needed. So I am hoping that this fills that void for me. I am currently an uber driver... waiting on the next Catastrophe deployment to do insurance claims. I have to give credit to @Iancarroll for the publuc invite. Any and all advice is so appreciated! #intrduction
Another big welcome to all new nostriches! 🫂💜
Just a reminder, this amazing protocol ( #nostr is a protocol, not a platform, not a business, not owned by anyone) is still growing and developing, so please be patient if things don’t work as smoothly as you are used to from the centralized platforms.
It takes time to grow a decentralized space and there are growing pains along the way.
That said, the freedom, censorship resistance and good vibes here are like nothing you will find anywhere else.
Folks are friendly, so just ask if you have a question and someone will get you! Adding the tag #asknostr can be helpful too.
If something isn’t working tag the client (@damus @primal @coracle etc) and this lets the devs know something is up.
Remember to connect a bitcoin Lightning wallet to your account so people can zap you (send sats) when they like your content ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Be sure to check out https://nostrapps.com to see lots of other amazing clients being built on #nostr , far beyond social media clients!
Also here’s a great site by nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc with resources you might find helpful: https://nostr-resources.com
Lastly, have fun, and remember there are no algos here, so the way to make friends is to engage and interact, create great content, comment on other peoples posts, etc… in other words it’s more like real life here where, when you show up authentically you will find your community 💜
any special instructions for not being able to post? I've subscribed and setup my zap wallet.
How do you add tools/apps? I have the music apps but is there an editing tool like to make memes or videos? so so many questions so please be gentle lol
I'm here to learn from you lol
Hey new Nostr users that have jumped on Nostr thanks to nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh, I'd like to take a moment and blow your mind and show you the power of Nostr. You're probably using Damus or Primal right now. I want you to go and download an app called nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 . You can get either of these on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. They're essentially Spotify but for Nostr. Once you have either one downloaded, you're going to want to "sign in" to this app with your private key or secret key from your Damus or your Primal. This is the long ugly looking string of characters that starts with NSEC. This is like your super secret password that you can never change, so you do want to keep it save and never share it. This key unlocks your identity. Now that you're signed into these apps, you can now comment on songs, boost them, share them, etc. and you'll see that activity in your Damus or Primal. Why? Because it's the same ecosystem and all of these apps work together. How fucking cool is that?
does it have to be both apps?
