Hmmmm... About three years now. It has changed my line for the better. I've met some of the very best people who have challenged me to reexamine things, especially myself.
Some people do share much about their lives. Others are here for much more nefarious purposes. The nostr protocol is very much what you make of it. "Seek and ye shall find" is manifested more easily here than nearly anywhere else.
Point of clarification: nostr is a protocol. Primal is a client, and if you'll allow me to be pedantic and opinionated, it is the worst but one of the most popular clients. You can take you're keypair to other clients, and I would suggest that you do so, in order to see the true power of massive interoperability that the nostr protocol affords. Just be cautious of the nsec. That's literally the most important key to nostr. I can elaborate more if you wish.
Nostr has a fairly cohesive community vibe, but it is also very diverse. There is a culture, especially the "good morning" cult. Lol! (It is polite and encouraged to say good morning.)
As I like to say: "Nostr is weird. Find your weird." Plenty of tech stuff, plenty of people chit-chatting about their niche things, plenty of people with more typical social media addled activities (look at me, I'm so pretty, etc.).
Ask me anything and I'll eventually get around to answering it. I don't always check the social side of things, as I do live life outside of most typical digital norms and sometimes I don't bother checking in for months. The good thing is that it is as much as I want, and it isn't algo-forced down your throat. I like it here, especially after banning a bunch of people I find consistently detestable and using non-free relays (I can explain that more later) which cuts down on the robot spam and gross porn. 🤣
