Thank you!

After spending about a week on Primal, a few things have stood out to me, enough that I felt it was worth sharing honestly.

First, the people.

I have felt welcomed, and that matters.

That said, the platform itself has felt very Bitcoin-heavy.

I want to be fair here, this could simply be my first-week experience. It may come down to who I’m following, or the default accounts suggested when you first sign up. I actually had to unfollow around 300 default accounts and am currently following only a handful of people.

So this might not reflect Nostr as a whole, but first impressions matter.

For someone coming from Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, that initial feed can feel overwhelming. This is especially true after already navigating the learning curve of protocols, relays, wallets, npubs, and nsecs.

Another small but noticeable difference is posting style. Heavy text-and-link posts and hashtags mid-sentence. It’s not wrong, just unfamiliar, and it adds friction for new users.

I don’t think the solution is asking people to change how they post.

A simple improvement could be better onboarding. Clearer account recommendations at sign-up, or even a short interest-based survey to help new users find content that actually resonates with them.

For my part, I want to be the change I want to see here.

I’m going to post the way I did on TikTok and Facebook. Real, creative, human content. Not following an existing Nostr trend, but bringing genuine social energy into the space.

My hope is that by doing that, I can help build, at least around me, the kind of decentralized social experience I’d actually want to use.

This is just one creator’s first-week perspective. But I suspect others may feel the same.

Haha that's how it started. 😆

I'm interested in music marketing, music, decentralizing for noobs, and some satire,

Anyone got some recommendations for accounts to follow?

I’m experimenting with decentralised music, where listeners can support artists directly, without Spotify or middlemen.

This isn’t a tutorial yet. I’m just documenting what works, what doesn’t, and why this space is exciting and confusing at the same time.

Still early. Still learning.

Hey Matt!

Thank you!

We definitely need to make this an easy process for Artists and Creators.

It certainly wasn't easy for me. (there were times I was curled in a ball in the corner sobbing)

But hopefully we can make this an easy process for people who want to leave the centralized realm.

I think it's up to us, those before us and those after us to teach and educate and welcome in the new ones!

So I appreciate you for sharing and reposting!

Mad. I'm doing a deep dive now

Is there a video or some instruction on this?

I want to "release" songs outside the algorithm, instead of on spotify etc.

So I am just posting here but if there is a better way, Let me know 😉

Lol, I don't know which server it posted to I just posted it up top as you would any other post.
