Oddbean new post about | logout
 Ok so I had to use google to find an answer about relays and connect to a site that lists some. Deleted some inactive ones from my network settings and tried to add in a few new ones with no luck as the hot pink button is not working for some reason and won’t let me.. could this be any more cryptic? 

It’s no wonder peeps are not joining #Nostr in droves like #bluesky IF having those you follow show up in your feed does not work then unless you are dev or UX designer— who would try to even figure it out?? I joined blue sky a while back and even though I had no conversations at least I could see the feeds of those I followed! 

Why is there no text copy on the network page to tell you what to do and WHY? Clearly no UX designers were used to assist newbies with on-boarding! After a couple of weeks it is clear that whether you are connected to a good relay or not makes all the difference - and yet I remember nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 saying in one of the numerous #Nostringa videos I watched that relays were not an issue… so I did not focus my attention there… 😂🤣
