 #siamstr is probably nostr's greatest success imo. Not even sure how it happened, seems to be organic or something. Tempted to switch to playstore so I have the autotranslates to dip into it. 
 Far more interesting than the redditors who didn't stay, the Matt taibbi followers who didn't stay, the tik tok-ers who didn't stay
.. lol 
 Yeah, fr.

I'm also way more interested in the "philosophy clique" and the "chill, broke Europeans" and the "peeps who like planting veggies" and "Puerto Ricans smoking a blunt" and etc. than in chasing people down who don't get the value proposition.

There are lots of people who weren't being served and Nostr finally makes serving them profitable.

 YES & JUST BECAUSE I CAN IMPORT MY NSEC DOESN'T MEAN THAT CLIENT NEEDS TO SHOW ME THE SAME FEED OR GIVE ME ALL THE RELAY OPTIONS. MAYBE BLUNT SMOKIN PUERTO RICANS ONLY WANT TO SEND PHOTOS OF BLUNTS WITH NO COMMENTS AND ONLY HAVE ZAPS THAT TURN THE SCREEN INTO A CLOUD OF SMOKE WHEN RECEIVED.  
 😂 That would be hilarious. 
 AND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, TAYLOR SWIFT'S NOSTR CLIENT AND RELAY WOULD HAVE VERY USER SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY TO SHAPE THE EXPERIENCE

WHY USE A BASIC NOSTR APP WHEN YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN UNIVERSE 
 💯 You can use Nostr to create public squares and private clubs and to move between them.

I can hang out in the "Daily Bible Study Corny Chat" and then check the "Coders Boards" and then switch over to doomscrolling foodstr and shitposting on Amethyst.

 Is setting up multiple accounts the only practical way of accomplishing this?

I know how to kinda filter views, but haven't found any way to control where the posts go on a single account. For example, I'd want want posts about programming go to one set of relays and posts about bible study go to a separate set of relays. 
 That's why I have two npubs with different maibox relays, yes. 
 y'all are so far ahead of me on this  
 I'm far ahead of everyone on this. 😂 
 Npubs are not accounts, they're digital pens you use to sign notes.

Maybe don't use your Happily Married Mormon pen to sign the notes in the XXX Dreams chatroom.

 And npubs aren't scarce. You can have as many as you want. There are 63 characters. We aren't going to run out. 
 I mean, the npub+nsec combination. 
 I'm very curious how the whole handling of multiple npubs is going to play out: 
- for me personally (especially when we reach a level where it's safer to start doing some illegal things)
- and for the UX in general. Easy switching is a must but what else?  
 The relays must also switch. That doesn't always happen.

Also, I wish I could switch without leaving a feed, just to reply to something.

And some way to prove that you own both. I link both to my Alby wallet, for instance. 
 Yep, designing a switch account method IN the reply box is on my list. Love that idea!

The ownership / linking of npubs thing doesn't seem to urgent but it's already something we're bumping into in Zapstore (App npub - Builder(s) npub).
Reputation vouching etc between your own npubs will also be a thing further down the road I think. 
 
 Yeah, people keep DMing me, to ask if Silberwitch is an imposter. 
 I actually see it in a very banal way, as well. Don't want to use my social media key for my utility bill payment or my employer's chat. 
 Who is building dis? 
WEN?! 😍🤣👀💜
Mke it weird.. #growNostr #weirdstr

 There is an opportunity to get some marketing off the back of the mashtastic tinkerers, what with people building using both, and Meshtastic really taking off on yourube. I think that is a good match, all sorts of tinkerers in general too, tinkering in gardens, tinkering with code, tinkering with DIY, tinkering with synths etc etc

Nostr is a place for tinkerers lol. That's my take  
 NOSTR IS A PLACE FOR TINKERERS

 💯 Nostr is all tinkering. I'm not even a dev, but I keep sharing my silly ideas

 It's a great place to talk about baking and cooking, too. 😂 
 And #dogstr 😀 
 Use obtanium so you don't need to use the play store to get the play store version.  
 I do t know anything about obtainium, but will look into it! 
 It's an installer for apps that support it. It's very slick. I wish more apps would support it. Amethyst does and it's fast and easy.

 Why Obtanium instead of F-droid? Or are they for different use cases 
 Obtanium is much faster to get the update, plus you get push notifications of updates instead of possibly not getting them on f-droid.  
 Gotcha. So it sounds like f-droid may be more for those with a security preference of manual-only updates, and obtanium is more about permissionless access to the content that everyone gets, without needing to go through Google. Thanks! 
 That's a pretty decent summary. 

F-droid is pretty archaic, and I'd like to see more devs also support obtanium.  
 Makes sense. Will spend more time looking at obtanium if there are way more choices 
 It is a very long and entertaining story.  If you want to know, I will find an opportunity to tell you in the future. 
 #siamstr is one of my absolute favorite parts of #nostr 
 What brings us, the Siamstr community, together is the knowledge we gain from @Right Shift . We engage in various activities together, such as Thailandzappathon, meetups, and Live on Zapstream. We value everyone in our community 
 maybe the king doesn't know about it yet
