A week ago when I joined, I didn’t really think of becoming part of the community. I figured I’d just upload my manuscripts and hope they outlive me on relays. Free perpetual-ish online storage.<br/><br/>Then I got here, looked around, and I liked it! I like all of the non-normie sass, and I hope to learn from you guys!<br/><br/>I am genuinely confused though whether the non-normie locals want more people to join Nostr, or would rather keep it the small, highly technical, self-selecting community it already is. From what I’ve seen so far, I certainly don’t get the overwhelming impression that making Nostr more appealing or intelligible to normies is a priority.<br/><br/>#GrowNostr 2026-09-28T03:56:33Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0ax9ztkdc5z6qxaxppaqa2qg0fgy63t53e35uhvry8pmuvq2ljaqzyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjghu6y5e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsph5tm0vheu80lh0tnheqaasyg3c9rdgs6aeqrefe4u82qlmtjrzqnngac4'>nevent1q…gac4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Do you grow them? 2026-09-27T15:12:55Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst89lcxdc2vyk7plnwk524dl3dpwpn9u69zrmvd8sa6nfjf4k8jgczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjgmzxv05 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqq9c6tn5jq4zfhz6fwlr87tjs6udv5a8zn7ztlsc0p3mfrkwazq5up7g6'>nevent1q…p7g6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You’re thinking of the wrong normies! But I do agree that normies don’t need to know how Nostr works, just as normies don’t know a thing about Instagram’s backend. I’d known about Nostr for about 1.5 years before I finally gave it a try. Every time I heard non-normies explain it on YouTube, I thought I’d need to understand public-key cryptography, relay architecture, NIPs, key custody, and preferably have a PhD from Harvard in applied cryptography. It genuinely took less time and was easier to get started on Nostr than it was to register for Substack, which I did at the same time. 2026-09-27T15:11:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd3a85kszxpzl3e3eerun8c7wykardmgum95jc6cyqtsymly227cgzyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjge8xwpz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqxwf4fvehcchv3juh0m946r5s74088slpr95wneywhf89ktvgq8t529g'>nevent1q…529g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well you see I’m not the only one taking pictures of the sky! 2026-09-27T14:39:52Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr74a3gyat2pdt804hhxdlm6xps3sqmmpn74202elqrwmkp5dl0gczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjgga8dnm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf3w67aqpcjt7ckn3set8yr3cz7jdgjzrrdaenn23kruvkvm60fwqrluw5k'>nevent1q…uw5k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Being the new kid in town has historically gotten me bullied, not welcomed.

Feeling a bit disappointed with Nostr but increasingly fascinated by its people.<br/><br/>Would you agree that people use social media primarily for consumption and connection? If so, I think we’ve become extraordinarily good at producing and distributing content, but remarkably inefficient at discovering people worth knowing. Being visible is not the same as being known. Content can now be manufactured almost infinitely, and perhaps the next great opportunity in social media isn’t finding more to consume, but finding more people to connect with.

Unfortunately, today is already day 5 and I’m slightly past the “I’d like someone to build it exactly the way I envision it.” I’ve tried 3 different clients last night and kind of moved from imagining what Nostr could become to being rather disappointed by what it currently is. I’m now contemplating whether I owe Nostr a gracious farewell post, out of respect for what it could become.<br/><br/>Although, if the urge to build your own app is practically a rite of passage around here, perhaps I’m not the only one wondering why a decentralized publishing protocol that offers creators independence from individual platforms has yet to produce a sufficiently compelling environment for people like me.<br/><br/>At least it’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one.

Are we talking about the smooth, glossy supermarket variety cucumbers or the little bumpy ones straight from the garden? Because those are two entirely different experiences, and I have strong feelings about each.<br/><br/>I seem to have two categories of favorite flavors: one permanent, and another that changes every few months.<br/><br/>The permanent one is coffee. But it has to be a very specific coffee, prepared a very specific way, served hot, and consumed immediately upon waking, before brushing my teeth or allowing absolutely anything else into my mouth. I have maintained this relationship for over twenty years.<br/><br/>My current seasonal obsession is what I call honey pears. Golden yellow, almost overripe, fragrant that I can smell them when taking a bite, with that particular texture where the flesh practically dissolves and the juice runs everywhere. And again, nothing else in my mouth. The pear must have my undivided attention.<br/><br/>I was told that I may be neurodivergent, but I think it’s a lie. I think having standards for my vegetables does not constitute a neurological condition. 2026-09-23T15:13:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswgm92fcg3vjpcc27u6rgahuf5wlugkegf5rvsdykvqd7n96vxekczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjg4lddhz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdpkt70aqxmmfwyjzds78jfg7lm6duvhgnw87gtjezsmzzfcjh6gg4rlz0e'>nevent1q…lz0e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you! A worldwide craft fair is a much more different description than anything involving protocols and relays. I came here to write, but I’m beginning to suspect I’ll be staying for the people. Speaking of people, how do you know if you’re talking to a human or to a bot? What’s the social etiquette here, given that so many people use pseudonyms and anonymous profile pictures? Is it acceptable to ask someone their age, gender (I’m not sure if that’s acceptable to ask in real life either), where they live, etc? Also, thank you for the #asknostr tip! I’ve already used that but is there somewhere I can find commonly used hashtags, particularly ones related to learning about Nostr and its culture?

You used the word “simple” when describing the Nostr protocol. I thought I’d point that out before the real pedants arrive.<br/><br/>Thank you for the compliments, although I’m socially awkward enough that I never quite know what to do with them. I generally prefer to pretend they haven’t happened and hope the other person doesn’t notice.<br/><br/>About the nsec. I’ve taken a screenshot of it, but I’m beginning to suspect that keeping it in my dikpik folder (all unsolicited obviously) isn’t the cybersecurity strategy you had in mind. What do people ordinarily do with these things? Print them out and keep them with their passports? <br/><br/>I’m asking because I’ve accumulated approximately 700 satoshis in the last few days, and I see no reason to rule out the possibility of sending my child to college with them in eight years. I’d hate to lose access to the family fortune.<br/><br/>On a more serious note, I’d genuinely love to read your novel. Japanese fantasy isn’t something I ordinarily gravitate toward, which makes me all the more curious. I’d be happy to read it as a reader or if you need any firsthand insight into the experience of being transported into another world, I’d be happy to consult on your novel!!<br/><br/>And thank you for taking the time to explain everything.

I am genuinely grateful. I do have questions, and they might sound silly. If I understand correctly, Sibericana is simply the name I’ve declared for my identity, rather than a unique handle I’ve registered. Does that mean someone else could create an entirely different identity and call themselves exactly the same thing? Is there a way to claim a “nostr-universal handle”? Can I use several clients simultaneously with the same keypair? For example, could I remain logged into Primal while exploring YakiHonne and other applications, all under the same identity? I’m slightly reluctant to log out or even try to log into another client in case if that automatically logs me out of primal at this stage, as I’m not entirely convinced I’d ever find my way back in. I know I’ll understand all of this better once I’ve experienced how the different clients and relays work together, rather than attempting to memorize the theory, I just need practice. And “Creating identity” is why I came here in the first place. #asknostr 2026-09-23T03:56:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0v8p3c6wlkpwvg55055lr7x77j8slfaeyafqdtpdra97zc4m3crgzyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjg3vepzj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqqz6dngjxl6vf6fhtxcere8f4cqqrxntqznnzn4pvwwq88hlrc700mxw'>nevent1q…0mxw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you! 2026-09-23T00:29:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstqur2tyfl9z0haqz2ycx7g72ywp5qqwf8v5vfxjaukcztc45n4zszyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjguvu7fy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8lcyhcmxdcflcade8d380kckydgzs0sl6kwxwyl0lac767x3zmgspkzpqe'>nevent1q…zpqe</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What else can you see about me?!

More importantly, these 11 cents amount to 124 satoshis, which means that, through circumstances I still do not entirely understand, I am now suddenly invested in the future of #Bitcoin.<br/><br/>And while I am still trying to understand why complete strangers on the internet give one another money for what appears to be no reason at all, I have already made peace with the possibility that my literary career may have peaked financially on my third day on #Nostr.<br/><br/>Three days ago, I would have confidently declared that I cannot be bought. Today, I have 124 satoshis, and I sincerely wish Bitcoin a long and prosperous future.<br/><br/>#Sibericana 2026-09-22T23:14:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdj0a7ffsm7qualuts9jc380fgymxehqsjjjxtf5d26x4zw8s83ngzyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjg035gl0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0jxq64n72532fddr549ha4qwyk3ev2krgap92648jn3whcjrf4fc2whk7r'>nevent1q…hk7r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A very accurate representation of my first three days on Nostr. 2026-09-22T16:26:24Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstgp6q3twv9nsdkxmsja8jr40k7x0frfhcgvtja8qgv9y4s82q6xczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjgjskach In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqq8fw07dp6ehrp5hlhdgzzm28qn9swfqpq4sur2vj54q45zgdlqm2lklp'>nevent1q…lklp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I used to write personal, epistolary nonfiction, but then I stopped writing almost entirely for over 15 years.

What moved me most, though, was reading about his life as his health progressively deteriorates. Somewhere in the year of entries I read, he mentioned a couple of times that if he ever goes more than 2-3 days without posting, it probably means he’s gone. That absolutely broke my heart. And yet, through all the pain and limitations of his circumstances, he continues to notice and document the smallest, most ordinary beautiful things around him. I wonder if he realizes how much of himself he’s leaving behind in those entries, or how profoundly a complete stranger might be affected by them. 2026-09-22T02:18:58Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrl57pdp4rwk4zf43wk83ucmzqg0gsqmt596wkgfm4xe57dh5nvwgzyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjgtghf0l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqrqh686jrs6j4kqs2sdalqfy7udwgphqj5wmsf6zuucc9yk8qgv844gg'>nevent1q…44gg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How long have you been on Nostr? I’m only a few days in and still figuring out how to use Primal, let alone what the platform is capable of. I’m particularly curious about the social dynamics here. Do you know if people share much of their personal lives and get to know each other over time, or is it predominantly a place for discussing technology, Bitcoin, and current events? <br/><br/>I’m relatively new to social media in general, and Nostr is currently the only platform I’m using. I suppose I’m trying to understand whether people come here primarily for information and discussion or whether there’s also a sense of community, with people following each other’s lives and forming genuine connections over time.<br/><br/>I’d be curious to hear your observations if you’ve been around for a while. 2026-09-22T02:07:42Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8vsjfdcjjjshpsc240v42uefqtauz3jxmr4kz5rlfmccchque8yczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjg4cnhm6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqz7te8e0q74x5q9s8uuq7zgutavfe7jdf7mn0h5wu4wp4pemfguq65l7'>nevent1q…65l7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>2 days ago I discovered a man from my tiny hometown who’s been blogging on LiveJournal almost daily!!! for TWENTY YEARS.

Recently, Chatty suggested I try it for writing. I needed somewhere I wouldn’t care if I belonged, free from my own vanity and need for validation. A social experiment of sorts. 2026-09-21T03:56:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst00nut9d2p4nx0gtvuzvca2m3ktqxzejktxfcks30rel297pecvczyzakhpehjf6n7kueau3tpjcukcxlm0pvwx0lh4rw6ad3yp7lcrnjgr6e7z5 I came here thinking I had no particular business being on Nostr. The more I understand what you’ve built, the less I understand why so many of you use it primarily as a Bitcoin discussion forum. I suspect this place has considerably more to offer than its locals have yet had occasion to discover. 2026-09-21T03:05:12Z
