 Hey Nick!

Nostr is smaller and more intimate at this early stage, but high signal. I have found that following a lot of people helps, since there’s less overall activity and having more follows gets the activity on your feed up. You can go through some of your favorite people’s follows and make sure you are following people you recognize for starters.

Also, Nostr tends to incentivize less debating and sensationalism, so it’s a bit less active in the negative sense. It’s more mellow, less addicting.

I tried to send you some zaps but it says you don’t have a wallet set up yet. 
 how do you handle the lack of algorithms and seeing every single follow interaction?  
 This sounds wonderful. I just got here and I'm excited. 
 Thanks for the tips! I thought I’d set up the wallet by connecting alby to primal in my browser because that does let me zap people when I’m on my computer…but seems like that might not have worked for receiving
