Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I was surprised actually how many people saw my first post.

There are a bunch of us who use a specific relay that attempts to show new users who are posting for the first time. I’m assuming someone picked your post up from there and then shared it with the rest of us!
We love welcoming new people with different interests. Nostr was started by a bitcoiner, and is heavily influenced by bitcoiners. But it has so much more potential than being a bitcoin echo chamber, and we love sharing that.

Enjoy your time here, and don’t hesitate to ask questions 🤙
