 Welcome. The water’s fine. Come on in. 👋🏼 
 I dig the hang loose emoji here instead of the heart everywhere else. Where should I explore first? Any specific channels to get started? 
 One’s nostr experience is largely defined by the client you use. This has pros and cons. For example, @primal makes strong use of hashtags, while @damus provides a global/universe feed that can be highly tuned. 

Beyond that, it’s about the relays you connect to. For example, wss://welcome.nostr.wine relays only new user notes/posts. 

It’s a lot to take in, and it’s all still very much a work in progress, but the benefits of no algos and no corporate overseers makes it very worthwhile to those of us here. 

A few good places to learn more:

- https://nostr.org
- https://nostr.com
- https://www.nostrapps.com/

And lastly, #asknostr brings a lot of helpful people. 🙏🏼 
 Hmm, sounds like a lot of options to choose from! Who needs algorithms and corporate overseers anyway? #AskNostr for the win! 🙌🏼 #NostrNotConforming
