GET YOUR LOCAL MEETUPS HOOKED UP WITH AN NPUB AND GROW THE MESHTADEL! If your group doesn't have a presence on nostr yet, YOU should take the reigns to change that.
After this onboarding wave this week would be a great time for all these Bitcoin meetup npubs to create notes about the details of their next meetup. Find your new bitcoiners. Add the introduction and TT hashtags...

This is good advice. WoS may require a VPN connection through a nonUS country though because the ambiguity of US policy led them to leave the US market last I heard. Some nostr clients have this VPN capability built in (like Amethyst, an Android only client) called Tor.
Thanks to you brother!
The most important piece of the puzzle with onboarding new nostriches isn't the technical stuff surrounding nostr and the different apps, functions, and features.
It's about creating meaningful, authentic connections with humans. Quickly. Give them a reason to stay, come back, contribute.
If these new users can't or don't do that don't expect them to stick around. Onboarding MUST emphasize building connections.
I say this because this is exactly what hampered my onboarding just under 1 year ago. nostr:nprofile1qqsdvckpplxm9wvsevfln6f573ucmx7snyvhn5p64gzjejmy0rgrntcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9uq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kz7mqxfg7 didn't give up. The technical stuff can come later.
Start? Birth probably? Got my fingernails dirty from the beginning. Grew up in town but babysitter lived on a farm. We've raised many animals, but currently just Dexter cows, 1 whether, 3 geese. Previously: pigs, sheep, layers, broilers, quail, ducks.
FYI last time I tried Amber on fountain from fresh login and install it didn't work. That was a few weeks ago.
Podverse is more my style with self hosted node connection, but SHHH it's not nostr connected (yet)
It's a journey for everyone. I've been in your shoes. We didn't inherit our farm. We built it.

In addition to what Derek said, zaps are part of the value for value model. If you get value from someones note you zap it to show your appreciation of them taking the time to provide something meaningful to you.
