Always need some tips. The X button is hard to avoid. Show me the way!

My people left for this is an echochamber. Nobody to argue with, they are way too soaked in twitter toxicity or dedicated to spreading some ancap thoughts there. And I don't bother to onboard people, because of czech language. It's a very few of us here and we can't divide posts to two languages comfortably, so🤷🏻‍♀️

I had done this before, as I was one of the people on the @nos discovery page right around the time I released my first album of music on @Wavlake.

I think for people who were familiar with Usenet, MySpace, early to Facebook and early to Twitter, Nostr is a very comfortable place to be. My feed consists of the profiles that I want to follow, nothing else. I post what I want without concerns or worry that it will get taken down or if it will be "controversial". I communicate with other humans, not bots or algorithms. I see NO advertising, NO corporations, and if I do see something I don't like, it is super easy to investigate the source and make a judgement call on whether to mute a profile or just move on. 90% of the time I just move on. Nostr is where humans communicate. Corporate social media is where the human experience goes to die.

I wouldn’t say I’ve had a hard time finding my way. I’ve enjoyed the technical aspects of Nostr and setting up things using my own domains and servers, etc. But I am struggling a bit with content discovery, finding interesting conversations to participate in, and how to deal with trolls effectively.

Setting up most everything for nostr worked fine--getting verified, using an extension, finding the mobile access. BUT, I can't really figure out the wallet/lightening part, including giving and receiving sats. All the helps I read assume I know some element(s) that I don't know.

It's not the first time I've mentioned this, but what worries me is, this is probably the easiest wallet on boarding I've seen in a social network. And yet it's nowhere near friendly enough for people who are new to the whole idea of crypto wallets. That's a real problem. It's not only that it slows down uptake, but even worse, that knowledge gap allows conmen to step in with fake solutions. It's something that really needs solving.

I've been here a few weeks now. I'm using Amethyst. The only trouble that I've had is connecting my node. My connection through tor is severed, so I've got to do it from my home network, and I plan on using Alby Hub.

I would say I had a smooth onboarding with Plebstr (now Openvibe) well over a year ago. Took me a bit of time to find accounts to follow, and then it wasn't a problem. Now though, I have no idea how the login process to new apps work since I kinda did it early on. I would prob use my nsec to login, but I believe that is not the recomended way to do it anymore. I am unsure how the new ways are safe/better. And how it can keep my login info secure. Unsure if this is helpful to you guys.
