DOING MY PART 🫡
2nd most effective way to promote nostr is to casually talk about it in 1-2-1 or 1-2- many chats. ( Family, friends, office, gatherings, events) One npub at a time.

Are there any bots here that like your posts? Because I'm jealous.
Disregard the number of followers or likes. Just keep posting great, insightful content, and the world will find it. Onward 🚀
ok, I'm a brand new non technical user, first heard of NOSTR in a libertarian chat on Telegram, a few months ago. Yesterday on X, Reason posted an article "Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption." It caught my attention, so I found and joined this new platform for me. My interest are Canadian libertarian politics, general economics, general trucking as I'm a simple truck driver for a living, the carnivore lifestyle for my health and my family is most important to me. As a non technical user, I must engage in my own learning curve and discover how I and this platform community can mutually benefit from my limited participation. Cheers
You have to set up your ability to receive zaps. It will reveal a whole different color of NOSTR...

Welcome. Say what you want here. But more importantly, ask what you want.

Welcome! We aren’t all technical users and software developers here, I’m an auto mechanic and business owner.
Welcome to the Club 💫 I very much share the sentiment 🐒

Welcome from Italy Neal!
Welcome, I'm not techie either... Just start using it and figure the rest out as you go. Maybe put something in your profile about your interests and you'll get more followers... Biggest thing is to record you nsec in a safe place. That is your key to logging into your profile as you for all the various applications that nostr devs have made. Also never give out your nsec ID to anyone, anyone that has it can basically become you... You npub is your profile and your nsec is how you access it. Also consider getting a lightning wallet to be able to accept and send zaps!
Welcome to Nostr! Sounds like you've got some interesting topics to dive into here. Don't worry about the tech side—everyone’s got their own pace. Your interests will definitely find a home in this community. Cheers to new beginnings!
Great advice! It took me a while to get the hang of it too. Just keep exploring, and you'll get the hang of it. And yeah, keeping that nsec safe is key. Once you get set up with a lightning wallet, the fun really starts with zaps. Enjoy the journey!

it can be daunting for the non technical. as long as you guard your nsec you'll be ok. I find that following hashtags is a great way to find people to follow. #hashtags like #asknostr brings the helpful #nostriches #plebs & #devs out to answer questions. good luck and don't forget to #zap #smij #zapd

Welcome. I'm relatively new myself. I'm sure that if you take the time to watch a few tutorials you'd find what you need to get things set up well. I'd highly recommend a fellow Canadian, @BTC Sessions.
Get a lightning wallet setup on primal mobile app (lightning symbol center bottom of screen). Easy sign up and we can start cheering you on by giving you money 😄. Also check out Fountain.fm if you enjoy podcasts. You can login with Nostr (desktop only). For now, welcome!🙏🏻
Saludos desde España y Bienvenido a #Nostr Cuéntenos qué está ocurriendo en Canadá, todas las noticias son tristes 😥 Todo lo que pasa en Canadá luego llega a la UE 🇪🇺 image

Even though I'm a giant un-fan of YouTube on so many levels (and even though I've had to use it), I give you guys and the Bitcoin conference the BIGGEST thanks for posting your session about Nostr on there. Truly. I've been wanting to transition off of monolith services for so long, and by joining this community, I'm going to do just that. Between working on projects, it's taken me a couple weeks to find resources and mentally piece together the basics. But today I had a BEAUTIFUL assist from @Nostr Support that tied it all together. I am UP and RUNNING. And I can't wait to get my video streaming underway. I give thanks to you and my friends (and project partners!) @Bitcoin Bay. I so appreciate what you do and who you are.🌻 image
Hey Neal! Don't worry about not being technical. I'm technical and I can't understand what the hell is going on. But the basics are easy to grasp. Just hang around, follow a few people and then follow people they like. Works just like twitter, but a little less people and less diverse. But ultimately it's a great platform to train for the future.
Welcome 🤗 enjoy and participate #asknostr is fantastic start. All love and image
Welcome to the happy land, Neal! ☀️⚡️⚡️⚡️ If you have a question - #asknostr Safe travels on the road!
Is it not possible with this button on the mobile iOS app of Primal? On desktop I also can’t find it. If this doesn’t work we should look at an @Alby using Damus. @Alby is still waitlist based but maybe you can help this man out Devs? (I would love to try it out too but help Neal first please). Let me know if all this doesn’t work Neal image

Welcome, you’re going to find a lot of Bitcoiners on here as well. :)
Welcome :) I'm in the same case. Although I know a bit about tech, I don't understand it all. I joined a while ago but recently figured out you need to add a ton of people and interact a lot to get into it. Just like with any other social media actually.

Hello from Stockholm! 🌍 I’m a screenwriter who took a detour into economics after the industry strikes in 2023 set me on a path to explore a growing unease that something wasn’t right in the world we live in. My curiosity led me to dig into how things really work, moving from dabbling in investments to uncovering just how broken our economic system truly is. The light bulb moment came when I realized that sound money provided me with a framework to begin articulating the answers to many of the questions I had been trying to express through my storytelling. It was one of the most powerful moments of my life. Now, I’m all about pushing for a future where our economy and social interactions are grounded in solid, decentralised foundations. Excited to connect with others who feel the same! ✊🌎🌍🌏

Welcome, I’m pretty sure you would benefit from some sort of micro learning, but sized chunks of instructions to get you kickstarted, am I getting this right?
I’ve found discovery hard. Reddit (back in the day) was so easy to navigate to a group (cesspool), so I wish you the best in finding your tribes
Welcome, Neil, imho Nostr needs MODERATED GROUPS like Reddit and Telegram. In the mean time, use Primal, it has some Algo's (like Trending, Most Zapped) that helps a bit with discovering peeps.
Welcome. You can search hashtags to start building your feed. Nothing is suggested to you, so you have to go find what you wanna see and build it. The #grownostr tag is intended for anything non Bitcoin and to help build more diverse topics on here. Following that one would be my first suggestion.
Welcome. It takes some time. I'm far from technical but have been learning a lot from here about the technical aspects of it. Granted it's way over my head but you start picking up on it. Another cool thing is the people here who are the tech people have almost always been helpful for explaining things when you ask. It's a cool place and there is nontech content here as well
addiction thinking is hard to break. that’s why the first step in the 12 step program is admitting you’ve got a problem 🤷

I had read earlier that you couldn't setup your primal lightning wallet being in Canada. I believe you can just say your from a different country. Cheers
