Private Relay / Human Onboarding
Many new users join Nostr and leave quickly or just stay quite. Not because itโs empty โ but because itโs different.
Thereโs no algorithm feeding you content, no engineered chaos. The rhythm is slower, the topics lean toward Bitcoin, privacy, and decentralization. For people used to algorithmic feeds, that can feel like silence.
A private relay fixes that. Itโs a small, invite-only network where you bring in people you trust โ friends, collaborators, or newcomers you want to onboard. Everyone on the whitelist can see each otherโs posts and reposts, building a shared feed thatโs focused and real.
Itโs not isolation โ itโs training in decentralization.
Once people learn how it feels to communicate without algorithms or censorship, they can expand to public relays and start exploring the full network.
The best education isnโt theoretical. Itโs lived through experience โ one private relay at a time.
Is that a good educational #nostr idea
