Nostr Tips for Beginners

Setting Up Your Account

  • Choose a Nostr client (e.g., Damus for iOS, Amethyst for Android, nostrudel for web)
  • Generate your public/private key pair
  • Store your private key securely (password manager, browser extension or my personal recommendation amber)
  • Set up a Lightning wallet for tipping and payments (minibits recommended)

Customizing Your Profile

  • Add a profile picture (use nostr.build or postimages.org)
  • Complete your profile information
  • Verify your account (use nostrplebs.com or nostrcheck.me for the easy route.) there are also many guides for setting up a nip-5 on a custom domain.

Finding and Interacting with Others

  • Search for friends using public keys or usernames
  • Explore hashtags like #grownostr or #foodstr
  • Follow interesting users and check their follower lists
  • Interact through comments, likes, and reposts

Understanding Relays

  • Connect to reliable relays for better user experience
  • Subscribe to specific relays for targeted content
  • Consider using paid relays for improved performance

Best Practices

  • Use text replacement shortcuts for your public key
  • Experiment with different Nostr clients
  • Be patient and engage with the community
  • Remember Nostr’s censorship-resistant nature
  • Keep your software and apps updated

Remember, Nostr is evolving, so stay curious and don’t hesitate to ask for help from the community when needed.
