 WOW!…I finally made it to Nostr! I’m still very green in this protocol, but I’ll catch up soon enough. I’m excited to learn how to really be a part of this community.

#introductions 
 Hi npub1h:fhgwnc, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓

I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set a #lightning address in your profile yet 🥺 Setting a lightning address allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! Good options for beginners to get a lightning address include the Wallet of Satoshi, Speed Wallet or Minibits (for US users) lightning apps 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Once you've fixed your address, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you! 👌 I'll also send you some sats ⚡️ Any questions? Just ask!

 Welcome to #Nostr

Suggestion:
Follow topics using hastags, click on this hashtag: #rockclimbing, and you will have the option to follow it if using the right mobile or web browser client

If on Android,

It is powerful with privacy as well, it has secret chats and it supports TOR in the settings "Use SOCKS proxy" (just install Orbot and in the settings be sure it allows background starts you don't need to have it running as VPN)

Enjoy Nostr! 
 Welcome aboard! The beauty of nostr is that you control your algo based on the people, hashtags, etc. that you follow.

So I'd recommend doing some cursory searching on topics of interest and follow people that you see post quality content there.
