 i think onboarding should be a lot simpler

- generate secret in the background
- present the user with 'best content' on nostr like flowers, scenery pics, popular accounts
- allow user to browse more hash tags
- if user starts following people then remind that he should backup keys if he wants to continue using this account
- periodically remind to save a username if he hasnt done so
- remind the user to have an #introductions post to be welcomed

i guess this could be called lazy onboarding / gradual engagement / soft signup. the idea is dont overwhelm user with nostr technicalities

 Hi someone, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓

✅ Great, you've already set up your #lightning address! I just ⚡️zapped you some #welcomesats 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

 Gradual engagement is a step towards algorithm. I think organic growth is where it's at. Perhaps more important is to share content from nostr.

 I like this. If someone doesn't engage much then they won't care enough to be reminded to back up their nsec. If someone does engage then gently reminding them to back it up and give themselves a username is a great way spread out onboarding info to get them to not feel overwhelmed by the technical details of it all.
