I said "device", probably obvious but I meant " app". If you use Android I recommend Amber. But there are others too.

Good luck ✌

If you try other clients, by the way, I recommend signing in with a signing device rather than plugging your nsec directly into the client.

Yeah I get that. I have a high follower count but fairly low engagement on posts. It might be the nature of my posts as well as *when* I post.

I would say following certain high volume hash tags is helpful. I haven't explored communities but certain clients have those too. You could try other clients to see if that helps. I use one as my daily driver but do poke around other ones sometimes. You may also want to experiment with other relays.

Hash tags, especially #asknostr β€” You can ask around for people posting content you want to see.

You can also post the content you want to see. You will be contributing and you might find new connections based on who the content attracts.

ProtonVPN might be decent too. Haven't done enough research yet.

All education is fundamentally moral. All law is fundamentally moral. All morality fundamentally flows from a worldview. In other words, there really is no true separation of church and state in the sense that everything in life is downstream of worldview.

The difference between public education and homeschooling comes down to the parents having the authority and flexibility to instill the spiritual and moral foundation they wish their children to inherent rather than the one the state would instill.

Also, welcome back ✌

And the prices even with Prime are often no better than buying the items from the companies directly. I avoid Amazon as much as possible but the only benefit I see to it at this point is finding some things there that are very hard to find elsewhere.

If anyone tells you that nostr "is just a twitter clone" tell them that it's either their client or that they're being ignorant. Right now the nostr interoperable eco-system brings together many aspects of the legacy web while solving the internets "bounce issue" and the need to have accounts across a multitute of platforms, just to follow one creator or topic.

* This is why I call nostr "a creators business in a box"

* For streaming we have zapstream

* For videos we have zapstream and flare

* For music we have Wavlake

* For audio podcasts we have NostrNests

* For blogs (long-form posts) we have Habla and Yakihonne

* For X-alike short messaging we have notes

* To manage or grow your community we have NIP-72 Communities and now NIP-29 (imo superior to 72)

* For discord we have Chachi (still early but already looks like discord lite)

* For Instagram-alike content we now have Olas

* We also have NIPs for badges, emotes and fund raising (goals)

* (There is more inc zap.cooking and other apps / sites)

All of those can interoperate wich each other. You can seamlessly embed any of your content into any of your other content. Your community only needs ONE "account" to follow ALL of your content and with the right client, they can do that from within one app or one browser tab.

If you don't see the huge potential here for you to further grow as a creator while truly owning your content and your community then it's not nostr, it's you.

Side note, discoverability is also higher on nostr than across all of the legacy social media if you're just starting out as a creator. You'll need at least 1-2 years to gain exposure across Twitch, Medium, X, YouTube and co. On nostr, you'll be discovered instantly and the rest is up to you.

The interoperability is the *killer app* feature in my mind. I am surprised that people don't highlight this aspect more often. Zaps are nice. Decentralization is good. FOSS is good. Uncensorability is nice. Resilience is good. V4V is good. P2P is good. But interoperability seems to me to be the most groundbreaking component and one of the most compelling reasons to join Nostr.
