Follow Twitter users on Nostr #MarchOffTwitter


In the spirit of #MarchOffTwitter, did you know you can "follow" Twitter users or any RSS feed on Nostr?

For Twitter, you can use privacy centric website Nitter to get a RSS feed for Twitter users. This is anonymous; no sign up required. Once you found their address on Nitter simply add /rss at the end. For example: https://nitter.net/EFF/ >> https://nitter.net/EFF/rss

One you have a RSS feed URL you can then use https://rsslay.nostr.net. Simply input the RSS feed URL and it will automatically generate a public key you can follow using your Nostr client.

Make sure you add wss://rsslay.nostr.net as a relay for the new users to be visible.

PS: The website appears to have intermittent issues. If you get an error 502 try again and it usually works after a few tries.
