Is there any way to minimize the level of effort for a nostr user to “just connect” with the fedivers with say… a tap of a single button? I think that would be interesting addition to clients.
What does just connect mean?
Isn’t that what relays are for?
Basically dumb it down to where I don’t even need to think which instances I’m connecting to as long as I can talk to the bulk of the people. Perhaps and advanced link for more actions.
Yes but it’s still a learning curve that we are already accustomed to but could be made more simple for people. A single opt in or toggle to connect to the fediverse
Imo this is still too technical and could be abstracted away further without sacrificing choice
Agreed it’s a steep learning curve, I had to figure it out myself, I couldn’t find anyone that knew n e thing about it really except the people from the fedi
We can do so much better. I will design this.
Still missing 2
Nice! Can we add a second form to look up a nostr account for the fediverse? Put in an npub or nip-05 and generate the mostr account for the nostr identity?
In nos.social we look at user look up / search and if it looks like a fediverse address we find the nip-05 from mostr and let users follow the fediverse account. It is under documented but works well.

Is it possible to surface fediverse accounts in nostr onboarding?

HMW better integrate with Fediverse · Issue #1684 · damus-io/damus
See Alex Gleason talk nostrasia For instance, add fediverse bridge relay?
What’s a good argument against not connecting to it by default in onboarding?
Have you tested fediverse bridges?
Do they work, are you interacting with fedi folks, do you recommend adding mostr and/or other fedi relays by default?
If fedi is significantly larger than nostr at this point are there issues with nostr users first point of contact being fedi users?
1. I have the mostr relay but I honestly can’t tell if I’m interacting with people in fediverse or not.
2. I don’t see any issues with fedi being bigger - why would that matter? People are people. It may even help with our corn content density.
I’m all for default integration. Don’t even know why we’d look at it differently from any other nostr user? 🤷♂️
Cool!
Search, fantastic! So ive not worked out how to follow myself:
( PS nostr.at is a brilliant privacy concious explorer )
npub1gd0mj0k257uk65asjvf0vs4tp2a28qzz9l5ejl7er9qsqlntcm0s60zuqz
Melvin Carvalho
npub1gd0mj0k257uk65asjvf0vs4tp2a28qzz9l5ejl7er9qsqlntcm0s60zuqz is Melvin Carvalho's public key on Nostr
I figured it out. Primal doesnt let you follow for some reason, but snort does. I was already following myself Good stuff!
Hrmmm so I dont see my mastodon notes ... should I just make more?

pretty please with a vegan cherry on top?
If you search the following on Mastodon, it should show up:
**nostr profile hex code**@mostr.pub
Alex,
Do you have a write up on this entire 'bridge' thing? I'm not sure what to do it . . . exactly. I can find my fedi name on mostr so that's good but what happens?
Do I have to connect my npub on nostr to my fedi name?
If that's true then does it post notes to toots (mastodon) and toots to notes.
Something fundamental is escaping me and I'm sure it's simply me overthinking things but any direction you could provide would be helpful I'm sure.
Thanks.
You need to do nothing.
Let me show you.
"Something fundamental escapes me", yes that Alex does good engineering, and that's unusual.
