1. Yes, you understand it well!

2. The closest thing to a directory right now is at soapbox.pub/servers. However, we haven't created the random community servers that have popped up yet as Ditto is still very new! Well add to it as communities grow.

3. If someone has a pub key display name they could be anywhere on Nostr. It means either 1) they never set a display name (unlikely) or 2) Our database is having trouble fetching their name. This is related to how events get pushed to relays, and is kind of difficult to fix although we're trying. You can not set someone else's display name for them.

Thanks for trying out Ditto! We have a lot more progress to make and and I think emin the next couple months some of these bugs will be more sorted. :)

Agreed! ☺️🐍

Our goal with account creation on Ditto is that you don't need to understand what is happening with keys to join! The goal is just to get them signed up. Once they are here, they can learn about their keys.

Rather than telling them upfront they need to learn something new in order to join (a barrier), my theory is it's better to be welcoming new accounts and helping them get familiar with these concepts after they are already here. And I think best way for new users to discover the power of their keys is by logging into a different Nostr app. That's why we made a point to highlight the variety of other apps first.

I definitely agree we need to do a better job explaining this to a user once they are here! Maybe we can put a dismissable widget in the sidebar (or someplace with good visibility on mobile) with Nostr 101 resources. 👀

Thank you!!

nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p has been saying for two years now that #Brazil was going to be the next major frontier for free software and decentralized social media. As per usual, he was right.

Now is the moment! Please help us spread the word to all the Brazilians who were using X/Twitter before the ban and help them move to #Nostr! We've set up an easy onboarding path with nostr:npub10qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsg9arpj to make it easy for Brazilians migrating from Twitter to get their keys and get started.

If anyone still uses X, it would be great to share it there to help the people find it who need to see it the most! #Brasil

We are going with something very similar!!

It just takes some time to the database to remember who you are 😅

It's a bug in Ditto that's displaying the npub instead of your Display Name. Others should be able to @ flick and it should come up for most people!

On other clients your name looks fine, here's how it looks on Primal for example:

Welcome nostr:npub193szgxnh3ers2lrmg4lguvt4qgt2jfy80jxzzcmmwxd62u6ks9sscusxxe! 💜
