 So how does nostr work? #asknostr #REDDIT 
 We sign json messages and send them over websockets to multiple servers for storage. Clients can pull down these messages for viewing. You can build censorship-resistant social networks, reddit-style communities, blogging platforms, etc using this tech. 
 How do I find different communities? 
 Hashtags 
 We tend to add “str” to things like #footstr #foodstr 
 #drinkstr  
 Redditors finding #footstr is like when you stumble upon and obscure weird sub 😅 
 #pussython is not what it sees either 
 We love coffe. #coffechain 
 Not all clients support communities as of now. 

If you are on Damus. I suggest following hashtags you like. 
 I'm using Amethyst and that seems to have hashtag following so I'll get hashing! Thanks. 
 Amethyst also has communities I believe. I don’t use it so I am not sure. 
 If you hit the little broadcast icon on the bottom of Amethyst (4th button over) you'll find the communities UI in app there. 
 If you like a reddit experience, try out Zapddit.com or Satellite.Earth. 

Both have discovery functionality to discover communities. All is hooked and built on Nostr.
 
 And what's really important is you can use the same keys (credentials) to sign in to *all* of the Nostr apps / clients. But don't copy/paste your nsec (credentials) to funky places. Start using nostr browser extensions from the beginning if you are not mobile only. 
 Here is a video trying to explain what nostr is about:
