 Thanks! I'm currently using primal. I started with snort but had some issues there.

I set up alby to get going. Is the wallet you mentioned kind of similar?

I just pasted that one into the primal profile, so hopefully that works.
Really appreciate your advice!

 Congrats you set up getalby correctly. Just zapped you. Yes the one I sent is a mobile wallet that is typically easier for a new user but no need. Alby is great especially for desktop so you can easily log into different Nostr clients. Primal is probably the best desktop client currently in terms of smoothness. Welcome to Nostr!

 Hardest part I would say with starting out is getting a good follow list. There really isn't a perfect answer. Primal has a top posts past 24hr feed. You can look at some of those people then who they are following and start curating a follow list. I also recommend lurking at hashtags like #plebchain . Nostr clients mostly really doesn't have algos or great search yet so following and  commenting is the best way to meet new people and get some follows as well. There will be growing pains. Also treat your Nostr NSEC like a crypto private key.
