The welcome wagon is mostly a myth and it's now fallen out of favor because LightX was pretending to be TikTok girls and collecting sats. When I arrived here, nobody noticed me and I had to tag people I knew from X, and reply to threads, to get the ball rolling. I think that's much more typical, and probably harder now because of WoT, since so many people won't see what you write.
People see 4 people arrive and get a warm welcome and don't even notice that another 4k arrived to stubborn silence. Primal actually was the first client that made it easy to find people, without wading through porn and Nazis on global, through their lists.

I wonder if the welcome wine relay catches new npubs from primal? I've noticed there's generally quite a break between activity from primal & the other clients I use, but I'm not savvy enough to know why.
It's also just a time-zone thing. If you're onboarding from Europe, in the early morning, then good luck with that. 😂
#slowstr definitely takes its toll 😂 I'm usually in bed hours ago
