 My dittopub account not updating and showing my latest posts (all posts shows up on primal) and now mostr is also not working. Not a good day. Is there is an outage?  @Alex Gleason 🐍

 I thought Ditto would be easy to recommend to everyone but ran into many issues. Even the advertised ditto username is still not working. Had to post this from primal because ditto says blocked? For what? 

This is frustrating. Imagine new users trying to figure all this out

 Very hard to know which to recommend these days. Way too many spams everywhere on Nostr for more than a month

 Does anyone know why nostr can't follow activitypub account? I'm using ditto pub to follow pixelfed and didn't receive any follow notification. I checked my pxlmo followers list and not listed there either. Is there a problem with @Ditto right now? Would you know @Alex Gleason 🐍

 Who and where this post will end up and that's the problem with nostr!

Missing different interactions from other users has to be my least favorite design of nostr and this is similar to activitypub where some people think you have not replied (or like/share etc). So far Bluesky (atproto) is wonderful since all views are the same

 Why does the ditto pub timeline not remember where I last scroll to? It resets and I have to scroll from the beginning. Do I need to configure a setting in the web client? Maybe bug? See video below @Alex Gleason 🐍

 I'm confused about this. If I set five relays and others are not connected at all to the relays I use, how will they see my posts? Please help me understand 
 Is there an easy way to know which relay some people are connected to so I can use the same relays? 
 Does anyone know how to turn on notifications for ditto pub? See screenshot. On primal (white background) I can see the bubble with one notification but nothing for ditto

 Had to switch to another client (primal) because ditto pub went offline. 502 Bad gateway message from cloudflare

With nostr you can easily switch. I don't think you can do that using anything from activitypub protocol like mastodon or pixelfed, right?

 how do you buy #sats?

should i buy them on my Proton Wallet account then transfer it to Alby or ... 
 When you buy bitcoin using proton then you will need a lightning wallet. Install and then transfer bitcoin to the lightning wallet

Make sure to always test using small amount first. Have fun! 
 How well can ditto pub and nostr handle video media file? Only one way to find out. What do you think?

 What was the name of the website again, where you can pay for a relay to have it created?

#asknostr 
 I wasn't successful when trying to scan. I'm using @Ditto  and tried to zap a post then it says invalid. The web client will still show the post as being zap. I ended up manually typing person's address. Did you find a solution?

 Do you think it'll drop below 50k? 
 Love it! Many issues finally fixed so going o try and zap again 
 Maybe I should wait for my followers to catch up before following any more. 
 I signed up here on this site in July and still can't follow. How did you get it to work? 
 Yes very strange. I created my nostr account on @Ditto  
 Thank you for providing a suggestion. It says compatible browser extension? I'm using Firefox. What am I looking for?

 I downloaded Brave to use the extension you suggested. Took me some time to figure out how to use nos2x. I think it is working now. Thank you!! 
 According to ditto, nostr doesn't exist? Anyone know how to fix this?

Here's the message "There are no hashtags results for "nostr"

 Cool to see OpenSats announced long term support for a prominent nostr contributor. So many: ditto, mostr, nostrify, soapbox (fediverse) ... congrats @Alex Gleason 🐍

 My experience was different. I tried the installation on Ubuntu (accepting all default value) and it was up and running without issues. I didn't test fully and just wanted to get to the first screen.

On @Ditto I created an account and then when I finally got around to follow account, I couldn't. No error message or anything. I reached out to developr and was told to go to another client and follow accounts then come back which I thought was very strange but will try that next. 
 Hello world! Curious about nostr. Exploring and learning using ditto app.

 Thank you so much! 
 Day 2 testing. Trying again on ditto (nostr) using zaps icon. Maybe fees not allowing me to send bitcoin zap or too new? Using Wallet of Satoshi Android app does anyone know?

 Received 1 and then sent 1. The ditto icon shows sent but receiver did not get anything. Does that mean fees could be stopping it? Do you know the minimum? 
 I can't use the ditto follow button! Anyone on ditto having the same problem? nostr newbie with problem see video attached

 Is there anything I need to change in the dittopub app to allow the follow button to work @Alex Gleason 🐍 ? 
 No error message top right corner. I started with Ditto and haven't used any other client. Which other one should I use?

 Same. No error message. That's very strange to use another client and then come back? How do I switch? 
 Can someone zap me bitcoin to test my first lightning wallet?

 Wonderful! Let me know how much you send so I can confirm 
 I will try to send sat. Will it work? 
 I zapped your previous post. Did 1 sat go through? 
 Sorry I'm new and not sure what that means. I have Android app Wallet of Satoshi 
 Here is what it looks like on my side when I zap your post and the icon is showing as filled

 Thank you so much for testing with me! 
 Same to you! 
 Ohhh nooo unable to see all comments on ditto! It is showing 6 right now but if I click on my post I only see 2. Anyone else having problems?

 Getting my account created was two clicks using ditto. Great job!

Now the hard part is lightning address. Many guides point to Alby. Need invite. Start over. Told to use node. Too technical. 

Any easy to follow Nostr guide for lightning address?

 I am trying your suggestion. Thank you! 
Event not found
 Worked fine for me locally. I will do another install on Ubuntu today and see what issues I run into 
 That part I'm not sure. How do you know if it is fully synced? Maybe that's why I can't follow anyone on Ditto? 
 No problem. I'm still figuring things out as I explore. Thanks!
