I tried to onboard my friends tonight and had a heck of a time. Both had iPhones so I got them both on Damus. And they could show me their QR code. But once I got it, I couldn't figure out how to paste their public key into my phone client to follow them. I tried primal (npub12vk…pugg), coracle (hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn)) and amethyst (Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z)) and none of them had an obvious way to follow someone by pasting a pubkey.
Also one installed Alby (npub1get…0nfm) but couldn't figure out how to connect it to Damus damus (npub18m7…q955), and I couldn't either.
Eventually I followed them both after they posted and I searched for them.
This needs to be easier on phone clients. There need to be maybe more menu options? Or maybe they are hidden somewhere? I had bragged about how much I know about nostr and am involved in nostr, and then I couldn't even get them setup. It was embarassing.
Oh, and npub1wmw3ny90zg6gmy7jlme76vthjjreapn94cmx9vduxzjhntm9xamq24stj0 (npub1wmw…stj0) and npub1ckhwr3lvc8g5yvwg22hv8vysvk437q0hlftvm5d432x43ps2ll5qfkpq0g (npub1ckh…pq0g) are gonna need zaps once we get their wallets setup. They were floored to find out that random people might just send them money for something they post.
