 I just get a blank page after scanning it and agreeing to something about adding a relay.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong. 
 Hey there, this is my first post. I'm trying to figure out how this works.  I followed two people, and the first thing I noticed is I don't see any obvious "feed" type of feature that shows me just what those 2 people may have posted recently. There's all kinds of posts, but none from the 2 I'm following.

Does such a feature exist, or am I misunderstanding how one might normally use Nostr? 
 And here is a reply to myself, just a test. Nothing to see here, move along folks. 
 I'm using iris.to, although I think I should explore other clients to see what works the best.  I've seen a couple mentions of "amethyst" so far. 
 Yes thanks, the follow of hashtags seems to be why the feed had all this other stuff in it.  When I signed up, it offered to let me pick a bunch of topics of interest and I just clicked them. Now I realize that causes me to follow hashtags. Which is cool. But, surprised me a bit since I'm only used to following people before. I unfollowed a few of the hashtags to reduce the clutter.
