 What’s your favorite #nostr app? I’m still learning about nostr and just curious about y’all’s preferences. Pros/cons of one app versus another?

 Sometimes being up early is fun 🐇

 Nothing like a good book and some tea (or coffee) to start the day 📖☕️

 I can’t get a follow to stick! I can follow a user, but next time I open the Damus app, I’m not following them anymore and have to try again to follow them back. Anyone else having this issue?

 It shows “online” next to 3/4 of the relays that I was automatically put on when I downloaded Damus. Or at least that’s my understanding. 
 I tried doing that on your profile, and when I try to hit the “add” button next to any of the relays, it does nothing. And I’ve tried manually adding them by typing them in and adding them with no response from that either. Even deleted and redownloaded Damus! 
 I was hoping to use an app so I could easily access nostr on my phone. But maybe that’s just not a very efficient way right now. 
 No not yet! This has been my first foray into the world of nostr. 
 Just my luck 😆 Thank you for looking into it! I decided to try Nostur (which is where I’m replying from now) and I have been able to add relays just fine here! I’m not exactly sure what that means in the back end of things (I’m not very tech savvy but I’m working on it 🙈) 
 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yeah I also just noticed that I still don’t have an option to follow any of y’all on Nostur. Again, not sure what that means, but hopefully it helps. If I need to create a new key, at least I really haven’t done much with this one yet. Thanks again for the trouble shooting! 
 May as well 🤣 Sounds convenient! 
 😆😆 Yes! So I’m on Primal now, and I think I’m in all the same relays that I am in Nostur. But I still can’t follow anyone 🤦🏼‍♀️ So I haven’t tried to set up a wallet yet in case I have to make a new key.  
 Sounds good! I’ll just wait until I hear from you 👍🏻 
 Any news on if I need to create a new key? 
 Okay, I’ll do that! Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it! 
 Wow, I must be up really early. No #GoodMorming responses back. Bless your souls 😘 #nostriches... 
 I’m usually up by 7:30am and (hopefully) going to sleep around 11pm! 
 How many newbies came here because of the tiktok ban? 

#asknostr 
 I’m here because of a TikTok video describing nostr, but I’m glad I learned about #nostr before the possible ban 👌🏻 
 # Relays

Tik Tok, X, Facebook, and Instagram all use the old model - a single "relay". With thos... 
 This is so helpful! Thank you for posting. 
 #nostrnewb here! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m unfamiliar with bitcoin lingo, relays etc, so I’ve got a LOT to learn. I’m not very tech savvy (even though I’m only 27, so I probably should be 😆) and have only ever used mainstream social media platforms like #tiktok #instagram #facebook #discord #twitter (or #x now). I have a few questions for the #nostr community:

1. What are zaps?
2. How do I find different relays and what relays would y’all suggest?

 Oh, perfect! Thank you! 
 Thank you! This is really helpful. I’ve been trying to do some research but frankly didn’t even know what key words to use in a search. I didn’t know what I didn’t know 🤣🤣 I’m looking forward to getting a bitcoin/nostr/relay education! 
 Thanks! Glad to be here and away from the mess that most traditional social media has become. 
 Okay cool! Thanks! 
 I’m in the US, so I’ll look into GetAlby and Strike! Thank you for the info! 
 Yeah I didn’t know this! Definitely glad you mentioned it. 
 This is good info! Thank you! 
 Thanks! I’m sure I’ll have more questions in the future 😆 
 I appreciate the example for how to use the lingo haha that’s actually very helpful 
 Thanks! I’m glad to be here and learn as I go! 
 Mind blowing indeed! 
 Do you think tiktok will be banned from the United States? #nostr #grownostr 
 I think the U.S. govt wants that real bad. But I really hope the Senate will rule against the ban. It’s not about national security. It’s about the govt not being able to control us and control the information we’re shown. But considering the corruption in our govt, it might happen. 
 The blowing dirt is flaring up my allergies and asthma, and when I hear myself wheeze, I know it’s time for a spoonful of onion syrup!

It’s such a simple, natural remedy that sounds much worse than it actually tastes 🤣

🧅🍯🧅🍯🧅🍯🧅🍯🧅🍯🧅🍯

Layer chopped onion and honey in a jar {onion, honey, onion, honey, etc} and let it sit for 24 hours. Then strain out the onion, and you’ve got a natural remedy for respiratory health! You can even add garlic, ginger, whatever you’d like to change up the taste or add extra benefits {garlic = antibiotic; ginger = anti-inflammatory}

It helps a cough, respiratory infection, allergy inflammation, asthma inflammation, you name it!

It works because onion is a natural expectorant, and both onion and honey are natural immune boosters, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory! It’s a much better alternative to mucinex or traditional cough medicines. And the syrup calms a sore throat too! If you can get local honey, it will help allergies as well!

 First #nostr post! I ended up here because I’m all for getting away from social media platforms that unnecessarily censor their users.

 🤣🤣 wtf
