astral VS lightning-browser-extension

ok I'm new to this, just trying to get off the Musky mess… so I tried iris.to & astral.ninja & I simply don't get it : why do I see zero posts in so-called "global" mode ? I get I can't see some stuff without following accounts , but an absolute zero is weird & not very engaging, no way those will have the slightest chance to become popular in that state…

I am new to Nostr. Just created my keys. I started using the astral.ninja client. The problem I am facing is I can't really read anything, It is too slow. Opening global just leads to an endless load bar. Is it because of my relays? Is the solution to just add a ton of relays or specific to my region?

- Astral: https://astral.ninja

I have a superlink.me domain, and it didn't get NIP05 verified in astral.ninja, as u/keithkman said, I believe astral ninja has some issues. I'm just using snort.social now.

Ok - here's an update. snort.social is not reliable enough for me. Hangs (no posts / notes) almost 75% of the time. I'm trying astral.ninja now and I can actually search and find someone by their public key. Also, Brave browser doesn't seem to work with nostr. I'm using my Chrome browser with astral. So it's ok for now. There are many variables at play here. Next up I will test using Alby and tipping / zapping.

Webclients: iris.to, astral.ninja

Have you found the solution? I tried with astral.ninja and can't seem to talk with my nostr relay

On desktop you might want to try https://astral.ninja or https://iris.to

getalby.com gives you a LN address, but you have to create an account with them, which requires entering your email address.

If you don't have a bitcoin wallet yet, try https://getalby.com/ WIP, so feedback wanted! Let's make lightning the standard for funding open-source software. Lets orange pill all the devs, as devs run the world.

Or you can use Alby to throw in there. That’s what I use as my BlueWallet Lightning Wallet. Until BlueWallet comes back out with there Lightning Node. Alby works well!

getalby.com

lnbits.com or getalby.com allow you to use BlueWallet lightning wallet interface. They are custodial, so you could always use a different custodial lightning wallet or a non-custodial one instead.

I use Alby (http://getalby.com) as wallet and nip-07 extension. So I don't need to type My nsec anymore, just login with the browser extension

Who is your lightning node provider? BlueWallet did away with there node and left us to figure it out. (I think 🤔) but I use Alby and hit receive and it really doesn’t say “receive with amount” it just has a blue zero and your expected to type in your value. Then hit the “create invoice “ button. When I do this it generates the code and I tap it which copies it. I paste into breeez and it accepts it just fine. So like I ask… what are you using for the lightning wallet in side of BlueWallet? (Please don’t think I’m asking you in a dumb way either… I just found out how to get my lightning wallet up in BlueWallet literally 3 hours before I saw your post)
