Some Mastodon Info
Probably sticking with Mastodon.world with a few backups… for now at least… the mastodon hosting I was going to use is currently not taking new instances.
Why so many accts?https://mastodon.world/@hilarybaumann/109413326450600792
Get started with Nostr
Get started with Nostr “#nostr is the protocol, you’re interacting with clients:
Generate a public and private key:
https://nostr.com
your private key is your login.
your public key is your handle.
Treat your private key carefully and do not enter your private key in random clients. Instead use Nosx2 or Alby. Nosx2 browser extension for Chrome or Firefox is going to be easier if you’ve never heard of these before: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x
Then add your private key to the extension as well as several relay servers.
Relay server examples (do I know if these are good? No. I’m new at this):
wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net
wss://nostr.sandwich.farm
wss://relay.grunch.dev
wss://relay.damus.io
