Well, what do we have here? Is this a new home for my text notes? ๐ค
Since we are making #introductions - Iโm Jessica Chasteen, or Garden Variety Jess. Iโm a gardener, writer, teacher, designer, and overall social media nerd.
I stumbled onto #nostr over on TikTok during discussion of our collective need for a decentralized social media platform that allows us to maintain digital ownership of our accounts and not be subject to the whims of the algorithms.
Whatโs funny is I thought: you know who might could help us is
@jack without even knowing this existed yet! ๐
Extremely excited to see how this will evolve! Fantastic! ๐

Welcome to Nostr! Still early days but I find the interactions here so much more rewarding than other socials. Literally and figuratively.
Welcome to nostr! It takes a while to get used to this place. It's best to follow as many people as you can to build your own algorithm
It depends on the time horizon. They always work up to a certain point. Then they break.
Welcome. Enjoy the positivity and lack of toxicity!
Welcome!
Welcome, you are in the right place to have the digital ownership of your notes and that no one else decides what to do with them. Welcome to #Nostr
welcome! enjoy your ride on #nostr !
don't forget to set up your lightning address so you can get zapped, and if you have a question just #asknostr
see you around! ๐ซ
You came to the right place.
Best adviceโฆ
follow many to begin.
Engage in conversation.
You are your own algo!
Followed! #Plebchain ๐ซถ๐ป๐ซก
Welcome to Nostr, Jessica
Welcome
Welcome to the Wild West.
Welcome. You should set up your lightning address, and discover zaps!
Welcome ๐. It's good to have you. Don't forget to set up a lightning wallet so you can receive zaps. ๐
Welcome gorgeous!
A little advice to be on Nostr is to use primal.net first and follow the famous people. Then, you use your web of trust (WoT) with coracle app and try to follow the people that cause you curiosity
Don't be afraid to contribute when you feel you have important information. Sometimes it can be difficult in certain technical discussions but don't give up. Be kind and generous with your community
Trying to grow in Nostr is not straightfoward and requires dedication and interest. Finally, you can say what you want here
Good luck ๐
Welcome home! ๐ซ
Hello!
That's so nice to hear how you got here
it seems insane (from a NOSTR perspective) that the value creators of the Internet economy don't own their creations and scrape crumbs off the floor, if anything at all
Bullish
Welcome!
I think Iโm set up nowโฆ maybe? Haha. Still getting my bearings.
Welcome, Jessica!
Welcome home !
Thank you!
So for some reason I havenโt been able to follow anyone? I press the button and it seems to change state (to say โunfollowโ) but then when I go back to my profile it still says following zero.. hmm. I just got my NIP-05 so maybe that will helpโฆ ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Did you try with another app?
I tried with Damus and itโs the same :(
Should I get the Alby extension and see if it helps at all? ๐
Iโm not sure why it would but then again, you never can tell with software.
I'm the opposite on an expert in this #nostr world. Try with the hashtag #help would be my next recommendation. ๐
Could be. We need #help here #nostr. ๐๐
๐ whatโs even more funny is I used to work in tech support for an app myself ๐
surely I can figure this out. Iโm going to try logging onto a desktop client tomorrow and see if that magically helps me.
This means compared to me you must be a tech expert. So actually I should ask you about issues. ๐
I have to admit a big part of tech supportโs job is just getting people to reboot their devices ๐ I did already try that haha Iโll thump around until I get it figured out
That rebooting advice went also through my head but I just couldn't pass it on to you... ๐
๐คฃ itโs good advice!
Great to see more arrivals, welcome to #nostr, there's more than just the twitter type interface here btw, there's music, art, long form blogs, live streaming, all sorts. Would recommend following hashtags that pique your interest too.
ngl surprised to see people coming from tiktok. At least not this early. Glad you had patience with us things are much easier now than they were before. Make sure to start following some people who can give you tips on account security if your new to keypairs. Ask questions if you need to.
I am an early-ish adopter ๐ I think the average TikTok user may not quite understand how important this tech is - but people have been calling out for tech wizards to lead us out of the centralized platforms. In the next 12 months this way of passing notes online will grow exponentially. Thanks for the welcome!
get Alby!
Welcome! I think youโve found the place!
Welcome!
Hi welcome ๐ glad you are here ๐ซ
Welcome ๐ค๐ซก
