Genuine question How y'all actually use this stuff? What app you use for Nostr, in general? You note from your desktop? Or use Damus on iOS? #asknostr

Damus on iOS. Also Nostur. Nostrudel sometimes for lists I've been using Amethyst with Amber and Citrine for the past 8 days. Fun to see from the other side
#Amethyst on mobile 90% of the time #nostrudel and #coracle or desktop #voyage is another mobile client I've been playing with lately that has a nice minimalist approach (still missing a ton though) #minibits wallet for all zaps with NWC connecting my mobile and desktop clients
Can you please renote this? Doing an open survey of how we all genally use Nostr. Most are using mobile as of the moment

I mess around with lots of clients, lately it's been primal voyage but I'm typing this note in Amethyst now. On desktop I don't really use nostr much but when I do it's normally Coracle, it's pretty decent. On iOS last time I used iOS Damus was the best hands down but it's been a long time since I've used iOS so not sure now.
Amethyst is really good on Android, including DeGoogled Android. There aren't any really good desktop clients yet. I prefer Coracle.Social or Prinal.net
The clients I use are - mobile: Amethyst - desktop: Gossip or Nostrudel - streaming and screen share: Hivetalk - audio spaces: Corny Chat - recipes: Zap dot Cooking Noting: Amethyst, Corny Chat, Gossip and Nostrudel
Minibits updated version should have this built into app Then copy/paste NWC string into amethyst. I'm running rn from cashu.me NWC

I use Damus, Nostrmo, Primal on iOS Web I use Ditto
Damus on iOS! Have tried some other clients too but come back to Damus usually, feels the most intuitive to use and is quite fast & smooth. Some other clients like Nostrudel & Amethyst have great features or UI that Damus doesn’t have but it’s usability and convenience of use for me are unbeatable atm.

Amethyst almost exclusively. Want to use pc more but dont have time. Boo
Amethyst and fountain on moblie. Self hosted relay and iris cleint on @Start9 sever for those rare desktop moments.
Settings > NWC, create connection and copy it. In Amethyst long press zap icon then paste and save. Requires push notifications to work on your device so that minibits can wake up on incoming encrypted nwc command.

I’m new here, too. Primal, for content wise. Damus, for what I follow/things I wanna see in general.
GM PV ☀🚀☕💪 Great engagement in this thread. When we get to 100 comments I'll note the most popular clients and share

primal for both browser and ios
They did it! Thank you. It's the long-press zap icon in Amethyst that throws people off. That's a good place to put the NWC settings, but most people are going to be looking in Amethyst settings.
Was using Primal for desktop (Brave) but all the signers are bs for web browsers so I only use it for notes and replies. I have to do zaps on mobile (GrapheneOS Android). Still playing with Nostrudel for web browser though. For me, Amethyst is only good for posting media and muting words.
I use: - Amethyst + Citrine + Amber for auth on my Graphene📱, - Nostrudel + Amber for auth on 🖥️ or 💻. Best combo IMO!! Now on iOS (when I rarely use that phone), I bounce between Damus (I hate not being able to zap notes even with NWC), and Primal because it's such a beautiful UI (until you press the ⚡ button too fast and crash the app)

tell me about citrine. I am not familiar with it. is it another social media client like amethyst and primal?
Nothing works well IMO. Probably the relays just aren’t that good. For example, no matter which app I use it can’t persist people I want to follow even when I add in my personal relay. Anyway, still love browsing randomly and currently using Primal.
