You should really try @Amethyst It will change your mind.
Primal was bugged for me but it's working fine on amethyst. NOSTR is like the radio frequency, and the app you type on is the radio. I think that's a simple way to put it.
Nice, keep doing these! 🤙🏼
Anyway, nostr is a protocol, and every client, like primal runs on it. So everyone that comes on nostr no matter with which app, and creates their keys, can use any client and meet any nostr user wherever he wants.
BUT BE AWARE, YOUR PRIVATE KEYS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU SHOULD NOT PUT THEM IN ANY CLIENT YOU ARE TRYING SPECIALLY IF NEW. There are tools to manage your key safely, otherwise the risk is that they can be exposed.
But again, you are learning fast good job 🤙🏼
You're not too far off the mark.
One primary difference between primal and other clients is primal uses a aggregator relay that pulls in information from other relays so you can view it. They can and have in the past censored people. And if that's how you want to experience nostr, a slightly more curated view of things, then that's totally fine. But the way most clients work Is they directly pull from the relays that you connect to. It's a little bit more raw, but The beauty of nostrils being able to choose your experience.
More than happy to try and explain some of the technical stuff if you have questions.
I like this analogy. Relays can be your own little community, as open as you'd like them to be. You can run a public one or a private one. You could run one for all of your girl friends if you wanted. For example, I run several.
wss://relay.nostrplebs.com for paying members. You have to sign up and use our service to use this relay.
wss://nostrelites.org is a web of trust relay. Meaning it's a relay for everyone that I follow and the people that they follow to use. It prevents spam. It's fee. You can add it. The name is a meme. We're not elitists.
And I have a private relay that I run at my house for all of my notes and events. It's kind of like a backup, but a private vault for all of my chats and DMs, etc. I can't be censored because I run my own relay. Your apps will connect to my relay to download my content.
Primal's relay is a bit different. They aggregate content from all other relays and filter out certain content. They also offer a paid premium relay.
We also have some great topic based relays or algo relays showing content from those topics or communities.
We have a lot of other large public relays and smaller community relays. Some apps help with discovery here and some do not.
https://nostr.watch is a nice tool to show most relays, but it doesn't tell you what they're used for. I guess thats kind of a know if you already know situation. We need better explores here 😩
Nostr Plebs | Get a Nostr Address (NIP-05)
Nostr Plebs is an easy way of getting a NIP-05 identifier/Nostr Address and other Nostr services, made by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.
Amber is a great app for Android to approve actions.
I feel like Primal is newbie friendly, so probably why it'll be more popular.. But doesn't primal also generate or request your nsec?
Anything you want to share I appreciate. Im here day 4 so a lot to learn teach and share. 🩷
Oh nostr and The forever typos. 😅
It's especially bad with GrapheneOS and Amethyst
Yeap it does, but probably you are also creating them there as you get in first time. Don't know since never tried to create a new account there.
Anyway the risk is more in clients that are less tested and known. But yes will be great when any client will integrate Amber or nsecc.app (also very good one)
I will get back to you , thank you
> You could run one for all of your girl friends if you wanted. For example, I run several.
If I run a relay for each of my girl friends, will it prevent them from finding about each other?
😂😂
And this is how you know what each camp will be capable of 😉
This is the full list
so you know what to look for when adding relays. Here is a way to find new relays https://nostrrr.com/ aka camps 😉
Hope this helps somone 🫂❤️ you helped bring to nostr or who is already here 🙂

If base camp at burning man is just where you enter the gate and you never come back, yes.
😂😂
Preach 💜
what if she can't if she isn't on Android?
True.
That's... actually a decent analogy.
Although I'd say Primal is the top expensive camp where billionaire kids snort coke and eat stuffed armadillos and snakes (true story, I happened to see it in person), but for real experience you need to get outside of this camp and just vibe with the shower girl in global...
😂😂😂
