Hey everyone?! I'm new to this space and feel like I'm on Bambi legs, like I don't know the rules of the game or if there even are any rules?! 😳 Mostly I wanna connect and have conversations. I wanna learn a bit more about what it means to do social media in a decentralised way. I am a mentor and writer so I also wanna share about the things I am really passionate about. I don't really know where to start. I'd love to find and connect with people who're on a spiritual path and feel like their creative calling / purpose work is intrinsically connected to that path. If you're a recovering perfectionist / overachieving type, you'll probably resonate with my writing. I stand for presence and connection. I don't want this platform to just be an outward direction of stuff. I wanna get to know people. Come say hi? #asknostr #GM #introductions

Hi Rae, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓 ✅ Great, you've already set up your #lightning address! I just ⚡️zapped you some #welcomesats 😊 I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊 Made with 💚 by @npub1mlne...u7x8

Thank you 😁 lovely to meet a home steader. I'm not at that point yet but I managed and am currently expanding a garden for my husband's business and it feels like training for eventual self sufficiency

Oh and THANKS FOR THE SATS!!
welcome to the tribe! there is no rules per se. 👉 there is no active algo like the big tech social media that most people consume. what gets push in this community are: 1. interact more with content and give decent contribution 2. likes here are more effective in that it earns you a sat. which means you earn as you post depending how people perceive the value of it. you will hear value for value often. 3. do not get dishearten or feel daunted when people talk a lot about bitcoin. you can filter the noise and curate your feed. 4. it can be overwhelming finding your way bcoz of the earlier point, so using #asknostr will get you to reach out people you want to ask question. people try their best to answer your questions. 5. #nostr is very new. in the tech world it is like an infant. therefore, it is also finding its way to the world so give it a time and familiarise yourself. 6. Mute/block is very much encourage here. ☺️ Lastly, have fun and enjoy your first protocol that prioritise your freedom of speech! We are pleased to have you around! ☺️💯👏

Hello and welcome! I think we are on the same wavelength 👋🌊
Hello Rae - and welcome! No rules as far as I know, just share your thoughts and the rest will follow. I can tell you that my own project here is to share my nature photography and invite people to raise awareness on the natural beauty in this world and slow down and reflect a bit on this strange thing that we call existence. so far I have found the other Nostronauts to be an awesome group of very different, but very likeable bunch of free thinkers. Good to have you here :-)
If you make a welcome post every day you might get zapped. Not today I guess!
Well I say... this intro post resonates with me. I was reflecting the other night how exactly I ended up here, & although there are a variety of factors, the one that stood out was when my Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's nearly 18 years ago. What a long and winding path it has been, but also so brief in the grand scheme of it all; which is kind of where I’m at now, seeking to live more deliberately, more deeply. Savoring all of life’s marrow, knowing that any moment I may vanish. There’s always been a beauty in the simplicity, but especially now more than ever.
Couple people have already said it, but definitely engaging with others brings a better experience than simply posting. At least that's my experience 🤷

Hello have a gret and beautiful day
The only general rule is if you are going to post stuff not safe for work (NSFW) is to use the hashtag since many people have that blocked so it doesn't show up. That would include gore, porn etc. Besides that, you are free to do whatever, there are no community guidelines like big brother social media.
Welcome, Rae. I've got you covered if you "don't really know where to start" and you'd "love to find and connect with people who're on a spiritual path and feel like their creative calling / purpose work is intrinsically connected to that path." The link below takes you to a "follow pack" I created for "Mystics of NOSTR". I imagine you will find a number of people there who interest you. https://following.space/d/79zc5df2sjx8?p=1549ed4be71d1a70ea2dca4596cd0c54c61aea485c6e4e5a8ca463758c98dd4a
Welcome Rae, I think its a good idea to follow at least one new account per week to keep your timeline fresh, keep the web-of-trust ticking. Followed.
