We’ve released a big update of @nos.social in the leadup to the launch of of the creators and journalist residencies.

We’re working on performance and hygine in the app while we also redesign the user discover and search functionality. In the last few months we did about a hundred user interviews with current, former, and future Nostr users.
We found a few things which jumped out at us.
* We discovered that the Nostr community is broadly considered friendly and welcoming.
* Almost everybody wanted there to there to be content on other topics beyond bitcoin. This was the case with both people who considered themselves bitcoiners and also those who didn’t identity themselves as bitcoiners.
* Most Nostr users felt welcomed, but a small number of people were agressive in harassing other users. We need to develop decentralized permissionless solution to these problems if we want Nostr to grow to it’s potential with hundreds of millions of users.
To address these issues we’ve created a program to highlight content about other topics beyond bitcoin. These folks are using bitcoin, they’re being setup with lightning wallets, and promoted in the app to help them be discovered without the centralized algorithms. Once this launches it’d be great to welcome these creators and journalists and validate the business model of micropayments and subscription content over zaps.

I resonate with the other commenter... pictures of the experience would help 😉
There’s a lot of content about homesteading, gardening, and food. Did you find any creators that produce that kind of content? Would be amazing if you could get Will Survives on here.

Careful the word "Journalist" is considered a racial slur in Canada.
Nice shoutout to @Amethyst for people on android. 😄 Sounds nice I'll check this out on mac.
Question- does this support communities? I don't use iOS so I don't knowwhom else to ask.
🔥 🔥 Just downloaded nos.social for the first time. You guys are developing features that I’ve been looking for in a nostr client. It’s nice being able to move between clients so seamlessly and not being tied to a single platform.
Thank you. Well said Rabbie
Nostr needs to grow horizontally for me to use it more
