For all the new people here. WELCOME!
A tip to help you grow your followers with authentic people with similar interests:
Create a note with the hashtags of everything that interests you and just ask people to say hello and that you would like to follow them. You can also follow hashtags just like other users.
#introductions #help #tiktok #tiktokrefugee #tip
Just wait until you grow your followers list with a bunch of awesome people noting about whatever they want.
Suggestion, create a note with hashtags about whatever interests you and just say hi and ask for a hi back so you can follow them. You'll find your communities pretty quick 🤝
Welcome. Here's a great post to explore some additional apps, functionality, and capabilities of nostr when you're ready. I've started saving introductory guides and content to my public bookmarks section on my profile for more learning. Nostr.apps is a list of all nostr capable applications. Nostr is a protocol with no algorithms. Your experience is whatever you make it. Nice to have you!
I'm saving public bookmarks for future organization and development 😁
The #Nostr decentralized marketing team is mobilizing in FORCE today.

Keep up the great work, everyone! And here are the links to all 3 of Ian's posts so you can join in spreading knowledge to the millions of folks hearing about Nostr for the first time, and asking questions about it 👇👇👇

The decentralized nostr only tech support is out in force here on nostr as well 💪🧡
FYI I say it's possible, but they are themselves trusted applications and devs.
Possible the same way it's possible for Amazon to get hacked and compromise your credit card.
It's always possible 🤷 there are services that exist to help safeguard your private key like Amber.
That will vary based on the app you onboarded with but you would likely look in your account settings for the app for something either called nsec or private key. It will be a long string of text and numbers starting with "nsec"
Hey new Nostr users that have jumped on Nostr thanks to nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh, I'd like to take a moment and blow your mind and show you the power of Nostr. You're probably using Damus or Primal right now. I want you to go and download an app called nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 . You can get either of these on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. They're essentially Spotify but for Nostr. Once you have either one downloaded, you're going to want to "sign in" to this app with your private key or secret key from your Damus or your Primal. This is the long ugly looking string of characters that starts with NSEC. This is like your super secret password that you can never change, so you do want to keep it save and never share it. This key unlocks your identity. Now that you're signed into these apps, you can now comment on songs, boost them, share them, etc. and you'll see that activity in your Damus or Primal. Why? Because it's the same ecosystem and all of these apps work together. How fucking cool is that?
This experience this evening makes me think there should be some kind of dedicated npub for onboarding help with pinned bookmark notes and multiple hands behind the mask to help with the workload. Aggregate the content developed by other great nostr users like yourself, Ben, etc.
I've got over a decade helping IT techs and users with process documentation, onboarding, etc. Willing to help create/develop this idea. I'm just not a super user in all facets of nostr.
Welcome! Nostr has quite a few based doctors on here. You'll be in good company. Check out my followers list and you'll get connected to a few of them.
Your #help hashtag helped me find this note while I'm trying to help Nostr CEO nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ug4n6q3 help onboard new users to the protocol. You can follow hashtags that interest you just like other nostriches (users).
(It's a joke, there is no nostr CEO.)
These new folks are gonna need a crash course in privacy, freedom tech... So much to learn 🤯
