I believe there is lots of group think worry going on here, regarding "education". I just downloaded Amethyst and created an account. The bitcoin banter was useful in helping me gain interest and figuring out how to (want to) attach an alby address. I am not a fan of KYC and have not taken the next step of getting an actual "wallet". For now just tell people to download an app (or go to website) and create an account. Those people will make demands on the dev's that will(or not) be met and build retention. Having people, like me, able to see this banter makes me feel a part of something new and helps build that same community and educate us as well. Just keep up the good work!

PS, my demands are that apps are available in a open source repository or directly from the developers website, or directly usable on a mobile browser. I hate default redirects to an app store and QR codes. If an app demands total access to my phone including camera to function GFY. I can toggle permissions just fine and if that breaks the app I go looking for something else. And of course there is more

while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter given the current onboarding and product experience. it's way too confusing for folks, and generally not satisfying instantly. people will and do churn out.

if there's one thing to focus on (for the social media use case) it's search. both for people, but more importantly, topics. Twitter won because of search. it wasn't a social network. it was an information network, and it excelled at real-time because of real-time search. that's a base requirement now.

what nostr adds, and what will make it sticky, is the multi-app/use-case ecosystem. but each use case is going to have different needs for attracting people to it. search is table stakes for the social media one. it won't matter how good the tutorial content is until this is done right.

nostr has the benefit right now of having a completely open and wild API. that matters as every other service is closing down. it's perfectly OK that we mostly have devs and bitcoin-obsessives at the moment. we have time to get all the kinks out and make something that's truly hard to replicate. where the only way to compete will be to join.
