Are you going to put together any pictures and write ups? I am sure that people would find this fascinating #nativeplants

Hi John, So.... one simple idea I had is to allow anyone to create a group and add themselves to perhaps 5-10 groups. This might be a good test to see how the idea resonates with people without it getting too messy. Please let me know your thoughts. #onboarding

I think many people would be ready for NOSTR if they knew about it. In all the press coverage about Threads there were mentions of Mastadon and BlueSky. I did not see any mentions of NOSTR. NOSTR needs a good PR agency who can get NOSTR mentioned every time there is a story about Threads, Twitter, Blue Sky or Mastadon. This was an extremely popular post with 180 replies. Many people make good points about the onboarding being difficult and some inconsistencies in the UI between clients. These are all valid points, but the fact is that NOSTR "works" on some level and what it lacks is more people on the network. More people coming and testing NOSTR created more value faster than anything else. Sure it is early and some people will get turned off but the experience is getting better each day and many will stay. #grownostr

You can find some groups by going to https://graphicsocial.media just click on the things that interest you and then follow any people who post interesting things. There are many many interesting people on NOSTR.

Wish my phone camera was better!

Hi John, We have a dashboard where you can create groups and add people into those groups. For the moment, I have created these groups and added people simply based on their participation on each topic. A bit of thinking needs to go into how to handle .any different people adding groups and people. Initially I just wanted something which gets a new user up and running. I think there are many interesting things which can be done with these groups if it is designed properly. #grownostr #onboarding

Hi John, We've implemented your idea of being able to see who is in the groups. You can click on the group name and see the list of users. It isn't perfect, but it does give a new user a nice "starter feed"! Please let me know if you have any other thoughts

Hi Pablo, this is mindblowing! Thank you for sharing this. I don't even really comprehend the whole concept, particularly what he said about using AI to scan the NOSTR network for other services available, but I do understand that this is truly amazing! Somehow, people with good access to media need to get this type of story out there so people can understand the incredibly unique possibilities which people can build on NOSTR. As far as I know this type of project could not be built on Twitter. Correct me if I am wrong. #grownostr #vendingmachine

Sorry for the extra post! Also, I will be zapping 1,000 sats to the first 100 people who go through the sign up or sign in process at https://manyworlds.social follow some groups and let me know any feedback from the process. Thank you. #onboarding #introductions #plebchain

Hi Stam,

We implemented an onboarding idea for people to follow groups based on their interests. If you want to login and test it I would appreciate your feedback. It is very basic but it works!

You can sign in using your nsec and follow groups or choose sign up and do it as a new user. https://manyworlds.social . A new user can sign up, and they go straight to Groups to choose their interests and then choose groups and are immediately taken to their feed. This is the groups API implemented on a Coracle install, but it can be easily implemented into the login flow of any client. We bypass choose relays and other steps to get a new user straight to an interesting feed as quickly as possible. had a concept of using a vending machine which would be better than an API, so we will work on that after we work out some kinks to the Groups front end. We should have the front end available in a few hours. People will be able to create groups and add users.

Great Summary Sovereign Matt! Thank you for putting this together! Very helpful for onboarding new users. #onboarding #asknostr #introductions

Hi fiatjaf, we have implemented a beta version of the onboarding idea for groups at https://manyworlds.social . A new user can sign up, and they go straight to Groups to choose their interests and then choose groups and are immediately taken to their feed. This is the groups API implemented on a Coracle install, but it can be easily implemented into the login flow of any client. We bypass choose relays and other steps to get a new user straight to an interesting feed as quickly as possible. I will upload the API to Git a bit later. I saw that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft had a concept of using a vending machine which would be better than an API, so we will work on that after we work out some kinks to the Groups front end. We should have the front end available in a few hours. People will be able to create groups and add users. #onboarding #grownostr nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn

Recently, NOSTR has been slow and glitchy for long stretches. There can be many factors causing this but I think that NOSTR needs more infrastructure specifically more relays which are robust such as NOSTR.band. If anyone wants to participate in building and funding a world class relay please let me know. It seems to me that the entire NOSTR ecosystem would benefit How much would such a relay cost to operate monthly? I have no idea but my guess is that currently a budget of $1,000 per month would go a long way! If anyone has more concrete numbers please let me know. I can fund one month! #relay #bounty #nostrfeatures #grownostr

Awesome! Great to hear that you are enjoying the "old" Damus! #grownostr #testflight

Thank you Pablo! #nostrdev #nostronboarding

What is the best place to post a bounty for a feature I would like to have a developer build? Is there a common hashtag being used for bounties? Looking for anyone who has NIP-50 relay experience or who could integrate NIP-50 into a good open source relay. #relay #bounty #grownostr #nostrinfrastructure #developers #hackers #coders

Yes, great idea! Is anyone working on a "botless" feed? Some parts of my NOSTR experience are full of bots and RSS trash. I would really like a feed which is just people. The RSS feeds can be useful but not intermingled with posts from friendly NOSTR people! #grownostr

So cool! Amazing! #introductions

How are you liking it so far?

#grownostr

Yes! Well said! NOSTR is an incredibly welcoming place! Let's keep that vibe going strong! NOSTR is whatever you imagine it to be, so there is no "type" of user. Anyone can find value in NOSTR and if they can't now, someone will build what they need! NOSTR will win because of the friendly community that is so embracing of newcomers! Tell all your friends on all the other networks to come try the fun friendly place! If they can easily find things of interest (which is easier and easier every day) NOSTR will hit that critical mass and flourish! It is early days, but with each release the entire network becomes more interesting,
