Getting Started

Everything a brand-new Nuts user needs before their first post: what the app is, how to install it, and how to set up an account.

In this section

  • What is Nuts? — A quick orientation to Nuts as a social platform — the feed, communities, chat, and NutsMode — and what makes it different from a typical feed app.
  • Download the App — Where to get Nuts today: the web app, the Android preview build, and the plan for iOS.
  • Creating an Account — How sign-up works — email, social, or wallet — and what you see the first time you land in the app.
  • Choosing Your Handle & Avatar — How your @handle is assigned, how to match it to your X account, and how to set up your avatar.
  • Navigating Nuts — A tour of the main navigation surfaces — the sidebar on web, the tab bar and menus on mobile — so you can find your way around.
  • Web vs. Mobile App — What’s available on the web app versus the native Android/iOS apps today, for anyone deciding which surface to use.
