Very nice article, exactly what needed for one-minute onboarding your creator friend. 🤘🏻💀

There are people here on Nostr with incredibly interesting skills, and I really enjoy following them. I’m pretty sure some of us are thinking about changing jobs, exiting the fiat mines, or just looking for inspiration to start a side gig. I’d especially love to hear the background stories behind the work of: @Helen Yrmom Designer/Builder of things beautiful and anti fragile @Dylan Earth walker, window maker @ATELIER LUG Stained glass restorer/creator artisan @Isaac Delahaye Guitar player in EPICA @bitpunk.fm is typing A low-fi audiozine that puts the punk back in cypherpunk I know you might not want to share too much about yourself, but I’d love to hear how you got started - what’s the story, and what steps got you to where you are now. Or if there are already articles, interviews, or podcasts about you and your craft, please share!

I’d like to explain some unfollowing I’m about to do. Please note, that I’m not sharing this to make a statement, but out of respect. (And a little for myself kind of as therapy.) It’s been three years since I joined Nostr, the social network. I loved it immediately for its unique builders vibe and the polite ethos. It’s truly a pleasure to be around such folks. I remember thinking wow this guy has thousands of followers and he’s taking time to explain things to me, the noob. Thanks @Dikaios1517. That felt (and still feels) special. I remember getting zapped 2100 sats for a text I wrote about my first impressions on Nostr. That feeling of being zapped is still magical, no matter the amount. I remember seeing @Efrat Fenigson on stage at BTC Prague two years ago talking about Nostr, following her right after, her following me back, even commenting and zapping on one of my photos - and thinking, what a cool community. 💜 And I remember Nostriga. One of a kind spirit of event, where I met @BitPopArt and got one of his artworks. Meeting @jack , @UNCLE ROCKSTAR and @Marce and being in awe that they did this amazing thing for us - to attend for free. Another ultimate community vibes. 🫂 Here on Nostr, I used to enjoy all those exciting notes - memes, future predictions (as poor as they come by design 🙃), learning how many Christians are on this weird techy network, the first artists incoming, discovering @WILLPOWER 🔥, @npub1sn0w...jdv9 appearing, zappathons, known influencers coming and leaving after few days when they learned their usual approach won‘t be any good here, girls trying to make nostr their onlyfans alternative… About a year ago I proudly became nostr-only. And Nostr didn’t really change. But I did. Over the past few months I’ve noticed I’ve become more sensitive to certain topics and the constant stream of big, intense discussions about the world. Politics, macro debates, AI, BTC conversations - none of it is wrong. I just realized I don’t currently have the mental space for so much of it. We artistic souls are not made for this. Since I didn‘t find the way to organize my followlist into separate feeds (at least not without the need to use multiple apps and tools), I’m going to unfollow some npubs whose content mostly revolves around those heavier topics. If that happens to be you, please don’t take it personally. I get to know a few of you personally and I still appreciate you as a person. I will still happily have that beer with you when we meet. And I may very well follow you again in the future. I stay nostr-only. Over the past months I’ve had some great opportunities to work on nostr-related projects, more of those are already on my roadmap, and in many ways I feel even more committed than before. 🤘🏻💀 For now, though, I just need a calmer feed. More art, crafts, building, creativity, and less intensity. Thank you if you made it this far. I appreciate it. ☮️ PS: Muting isn’t really what I’m looking for. I prefer adjusting who I follow while still occasionally seeing reposts in my wider network.

I‘m looking for a way to divide my followlist into separate feeds. I want to select and add npubs into them. @primal seems to have this - search/filters/posted by… then add this filter as a bookmarked feed, BUT if I start typing, there are npubs I don‘t even follow so I need to view my followlist on another device and then type manually…… I just want to scroll my followlist, select the accounts and save the selections. Is there a way to do this without pain? #asknostr
