For like the millionth time in two days, I'm dumb and really bad at this. Yet I am trying to help new people on here. Like newer than even me. Anyone post accounts or resources to help the newbies that I am trying to catch and help? I will literally follow any newbies hoping the small crowd of the people that helped me and followed me out of the gate will help other newbs.

Any chance you can hit met up with some of those hashtags (in addition to those that you posted above) so that I can not seem so dumb here lol. I would like to be helpful without sounding like an idiot.

followed him but I can't comment on anything (I'm probably just being dumb and tired lol). I'm sure you could be more help to him than me. but if he wants to talk to a fellow newb, I'll be back tomorrow night lol.

Whatever you more expierenced nostr(ers?) think will help newbies. Whether it's helpful accounts to follow
....or whatever else. Someone sent me a link to view accounts that have just started nostr. I am going to try and spend like a half hour per night interacting with them.
I would recommend to spend some time to understand NIPs and nostr events. Which are basically what makes nostr interoperable. While notes are fun they're just notes like tweets. The real magic and power of nostr is hidden in the "other stuff". That's why I only recommend clients that support a wide range of NIPs such as noStrudel for example. Then there is nostr.band which gives you a good overview on "actual" trends, curated feeds and more. https://nostr.band/ One of the most important things about nostr is self-moderation thanks to the lack of algos deciding for you what you want to see or not want to see. For that I'd recommend setting up "custom lists" to filter your timeline for content you do want to see. Mute word lists and tag lists work too when customising your nostr experience. Some clients, like noStrudel, have lists built-in. If your client doesn't display lists, use listr.
