Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this! I am genuinely grateful. I do have questions, and they might sound silly. If I understand correctly, Sibericana is simply the name I’ve declared for my identity, rather than a unique handle I’ve registered. Does that mean someone else could create an entirely different identity and call themselves exactly the same thing? Is there a way to claim a “nostr-universal handle”? Can I use several clients simultaneously with the same keypair? For example, could I remain logged into Primal while exploring YakiHonne and other applications, all under the same identity? I’m slightly reluctant to log out or even try to log into another client in case if that automatically logs me out of primal at this stage, as I’m not entirely convinced I’d ever find my way back in. I know I’ll understand all of this better once I’ve experienced how the different clients and relays work together, rather than attempting to memorize the theory, I just need practice. And “Creating identity” is why I came here in the first place. #asknostr

Yes 'sibericana' is a self declaration. Nothing stops anything or anyone from creating another billion 'sibericana''s. The publickey however is what is unique, so can tell them appart.
This begs the question as to how i know who or what the "real" sibericana is. Philosophical questions aside (they ultimately do matter but il skip 'm for now), the straight forward answer is a combination of 'somehow' (we might have met and shook hands or whatever) and you network of relationships and interactions; we call this 'web of trust'.
Non trivial problems all in all, but we will figure it out.
As for the apps: you can use a 1000 apps simultaniously if you wanted. No need to log out of primal. I dont know if primal's remote sign in works on iOS, but if it does you can use it to get into yakihonne.
Ideally you don't stick your private key into a bunch of apps directly. With a remote signer you dont have to, but now we run into the fact i dont know the iphone landscape so cant advise.
