Anyone who tried nostr can tell me how its diff from active pub ? except its literally ssh , idk why people are excited about it while most people are going to store their keys in a signing app which defeats the purpose

Nostr is more of an ecosystem for developing apps that a social media protocol. There are great apps to explore that are based on Nostr.

Blogging, podcasts, music collaboration, streaming...

As for content is lacking quality. Bitcoin floods, zats addiction etc.

So I can see any content on any platform or I have to download a specific app to view a specific type of media ? Also is it secure to trust these signing apps otherwise I can also save the private key in some cloud encryption vault

After your login, you are connected to a number of relays (depending on the client you are using). You can only see content, your relays distribute.

Try primal as client. And set up your authentication.

Make sure you're aware of NIPs
