I did this for onboarding guide for complete newbies. I've only been here for around a month (so I don't know much at all) but hopefully that helps me cover the right bases for other new people. Happy to help out where I can.

How to start using Nostr The simple step-by-step guide to have you up and running in just a few minutes! What is Notstr??Find easy-to-understand in...
If you mean in the sense of answering questions & general nostr use education, you can add this acct to your list of helpers.
Too bad Primal doesn't Nostr properly, or have media servers that deliver.
One of the first things users need to learn, regardless of what client they use, is they are not posting images or videos on Nostr, they are posting URLs to them. They can post URLs because URLs are just text.
Some "Nostr" clients also happen to offer cloud storage as an additional service. They may as well send you a pizza, that doesn't make pizzas part of Nostr.

Why?
It has the same meaning of a like, plus some measure of how rich or generous the person sending it is.
Oo very hot, and interesting! What are these speaking astrology signs?
Ha! Yeah I can relate to that. I have no idea what vibe coding is. I'm here because meta is creepy as hell. My husband got me into it because of issues with censorship and data sharing. Definitely a ton of jargon, but there's a lot of non-technical folks here too!
Good point. This was an early frustration for me.
I do. I made one of the original nostr videos, but it's outdated now.
Nostr is actually still very useful if you post images or videos.
Yes, media will be hosted in some other way, but you retain your audience. You can tell them when you get censored and post new stuff through new services, still linking to it with the same Nostr account.
So Nostr isn't useless if you make images or videos, or audio, but none should be claiming they are posting videos through Nostr.
What client are you using?
It wrote the following:

As a relay hint (it's clearly nonsensical).
I've used exclusively Primal today.
