Definitely, I am feeling the warmth after stumbling around in the dark & cold!
Which client(s) are you using?
I am using damus - not throwing shade, it looks nice and all! But could use some onboarding
Thank you for reaching out! I am using damus, with the preconfigured settings. First time I open the app I only see messages from Will nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , and when I click on his profile pic it says that he has 1.5K followers. However, googling around I found the primal web client, where the same account appears to have 142K followers, which may be due to my (preconfigured) set of relays. This, combined with not being able to find accounts that I knew must exist, overall it left me with a feeling of "missing the plot", and I am not a low-tech person by any stretch. I feel like some onboarding/hand-holding at the beginning would do a world of difference, I'm sure 99% of family & friends would have given up at this stage
Grateful newb here, thank you!
Newbie experience is somewhat frustrating on #nostr :(
How do I follow Gigi on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 ? I was unsuccessful on the search tab, Gigi doesn't show up in the list of users, and beyond that it assumes I am searching for a #nostr hashtag
How do I discover accounts to follow on #nostr ?
“Freedom dies by people just taking a little bit more and a little bit more…we just end up in a situation people are like ‘How the fuck did we end up here?’ And at some point down the line you have to practice civil disobedience and say: ‘No, I will not fucking comply.’”

Jordan Peterson quote (Telegraph interview 4 days ago): "Free societies are only free to the degree that everyone is a dissident. Freedom is maintained by people's trivial decisions to engage in truthful interactions, in trade and in their relationships with each other. Free people are truth-speaking dissidents, there is no difference between that and being free. It's when that becomes silenced that things start to tilt in the tyrannical or the chaotic direction."
I found https://stats.nostr.band which says 330K users (~10K daily active). I guess it's hard to count in a decentralized setting
nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 I get a display bug when switching from portrait to landscape (or vice versa) 
Do you really have 95314 followers? My damus says 1322. Sorry if that's a newb question
How many people are on #nostr so far? I see a few accounts with about 1.5K followers, is 2K a reasonable estimate?

Just checking this out after listening to your WBD podcast.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m you mentioned the discovery problem on a recent podcast. How do you think discovery will be solved on nostr? Could this be a business? Multiple companies/orgs?
I've read a few by Egan, I usually like the world-building part (~first third of the book), the story & characters less so. Diaspora is next on my list
