I don't think there's supposedly any best relay. You can just use what nostr:nprofile1qqsgzfdez8ksa9xmuvqg5zly3nl9e5xqkpvj8nllj9aw06ra4pqq3qcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yhxzurs9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshstm459s recommended. These are pretty good relays. And trustworthy, too.

I'd recommend, instead of thinking about which relays to use, think about which client suits you best.

Because there are a couple of clients now. Try every one of them and see which one you like and start using that.

Or, maybe explore all of them. You can always change clients and your social graph will transfer between the clients too. So don't worry and explore #Nostr. And use hashtags. And explore hashtags too. You might want to start with #introductions, #AskNostr, #Nostr, etc.

Are you using any extension or nsec.app?

I'm using Nostr Connect on Google Chrome. Shall I try using another browser?

Exactly! For the average joe's, thinking about relays and stuffs would just make things complicated for them. They can just start #Nostring instead .

Primal is a client, or an app if you will, built on top of the Nostr protocol. The Nostr protocol is a set of rules for communications using notes and other stuffs.

To put it simply, it's a set of rules, based on which, apps (read, clients) of different types can be built and all of which can communicate with each other like email. You have different email clients like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc. But the beauty is, these clients/apps can communicate between them.

Unlike Primal, Masotodon is not based on Nostr, but another decentralized networking protocol named ActivityPub.

Primal is one of the apps/clients of Nostr. Nostr itself is not an app. It just governs how apps built on it should behave. Primal is like X (formerly, Twitter). As nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z mentioned, there are tens of apps (maybe not a hundred yet) built on the Nostr protocol. Some are for microblogging or Twitter-like, some are alternative to Instagram (actually there's just one as of now, and it's called Olas), you have alternative to reddit, hacker news, Medium, Substack, etc.

So to put it simply, the existing popular apps/sites can be built using the Nostr protocol and the advantage of that from the point of end-user is having open, decentralized, permission-less, anonymous social networking where you are in control of your data.

Welcome to #Nostr.

That's what makes #Xfce so awesome. It changes (read, improves) while keeping the desktop paradigm intact.

A good read for the #newcomers of #Nostr.

Not sure about the spec.

As you're familiar with Linux Mint, you might want to try the Xfce version of LM.

Xfce is comparatively lightweight, modular, simple, and a no-bs desktop. You might like it.

#LinuxMint #Xfce #Linux #LinuxDistro

Sure. I'm impressed by the read-only version. Just waiting to try the live version.
