Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm using Amethyst. What kind of help do you need?
Oh. So confused on how it works. I was doing some research when I found out about NOSTR. So I searched for an app I can use to get connected to this world. And viola! Here we are. I really dunno much on how it works
You’re doing fine
Maybe I’d just follow a lot of the active ones here. 😊
That's a good start. You can always unfollow lol
Thanks for the tips, Dawn You are the first user I’m communicating with through this medium.
🫡 feel free to ask questions. Nostr's as much or as little as you make it. You control just about everything about your experience.
Nice, so is there something like private Direct messages here?
Yeah, but currently on Damus you will leak metadata like who you are chatting with when using DMs. The messages themselves are private though.
Oh. So is there alternative to that?
IIRC @0xchat fixes that
It warns you when you receive a message that is not gift wrapped. This means you’ll leak metadata if you respond to it. nostr:note1q743lwuhzclt37rsr2ch2x2vldsh9pgyvwl5xfrjn7wvf8apcmvqkadtwy
No, you response is also Giftwrapped DM
What’s the warning for then?
Warning for: Your friends are not using Client’s Support Giftwrapped DM and may not be able to receive your Giftwrapped messages.
Is there an option to send an unwrapped message to make sure they get it?
Unfortunately, it's no longer available to prevent users from accidentally sending an unwrapped DM. Perhaps you could use another client to notify the other person
Direct messages, yes. How private those are is debatable lol ... I'm unfamiliar with damus but maybe a little envelope icon?
When you click on someone’s pfp, there’s a message button in Damus
Hey that's awesome! Welcome aboard... it is a bit confusing at first. You can search and follow hashtags. You can use them to get your notes some reach too. #asknostr is great for questions. Looking through other's profiles follow lists can help too.
Heyy ! Nostr.apps is where you find all different services built on Nostr. For example I’m writing from Primal rn. Also check out nostr.world account on YouTube there are recordings of talks from the recent #nostriga conference with talks on every aspect of Nostr
