:label: Label ?
All options ?
@npub107j…ncxg I see you have ctrl/enter for all options. In my UIs comment is the more obvious go-to since that's also what's visible to the normies. what would you use for the list above?

Thanks, but Nostrhub doesn't find the event.
Their search field also doesn't work on mobile.
That vibe site tells me it's a spec for ANY text syntax (including HTML lol), not strictly Markdown which I :110percent: need. Also adds 'spaces', which I don't need.
Just a simple doc tree that everyone already has, por favor.

Most people leaving Reddit don't even go to alternative forum apps. They often go to apps that don't even have forum posts, instead they go to wherever there's still some sense of community discussion to be found.

What and how are you building? 👀

2026-01-31 19:45:40 UTC

- reply

I :110percent: think Nostr can do moderation better. And make it interoperable, and make it the easiest thing to integrate into your existing website/app/project/... and work with literally content type the community needs (way beyond forum posts), etc...
But, getting that right makes you end up with a solution that barely resembles Reddit any longer. That's my point.
It means different UX and UI choices for like 80% of the thing.
Not telling some LLMs to make "Reddit but on relays and with zaps".

2026-01-31 16:45:38 UTC

- reply

You can't look at the current needs of niche communities and then think copying Reddit is a good idea.
Nobody is waiting for a dEcEnTrALiZeD version of that.
Moderation is the main value prop there. So if you don't see how Nostr can do moderation better (and add opportunity to it), it's a waste of time.

Free speech is a weird thing to strive for btw. Literally an oxymoron. Speech is adherence to the vague rules of language (depending on the community you're in), if not it's just brabbling.
Likewise, the most realistic thing we can go for is letting people freely engage with different interoperable communities that each set their own rules without losing that interoperability, making them more like a language.

2026-01-31 08:34:37 UTC

Let them. Nostr can never win over the mindless-scroll crowd.
It's the most awesome solution for niche communities though. Solve their problems instead, and you'll see users.

It'd be an indexer event for Wiki articles (in Markdown).
Much like the 30040 thing Alexandria is doing but less general (for literal every Indexed thing, no thanks) and without fr€#@king AsciiDoc.

2026-01-31 08:26:31 UTC

If anything Nostr is ever going to go :AirQuoteLeft: viral :AirQuoteRight:, it's some set of Communities that happen to use the protocol.

Would also give app devs just one thing to publish for their app to be found.

2026-01-25 12:30:54 UTC

Pretty weird to :90percent: of people to display a bunch of content types in your :nostr: Nostr app, for which you don't give a route to create them.
Not saying your app has to enable creation of all of them, but it should at least point to other apps that do.
And yes, there's Nip-89, I know. But it says nothing about whether the proposed apps handle the CREATION for the :AirQuoteLeft: supported :AirQuoteRight: kinds, so in the majority of cases it's sending users to another app (that they don't know) just to SEE the same content type over there and be like "What now?". It also has some weird base assumptions and seems to be thought out mostly from the web app perspective.
I think :app: App events could be the better solution here. If we find a neat way to specify what content types the app lets you READ vs what types it's lets you WRITE, you'd have a general solution for all platforms (APK, Mac, iOS, Linux, cli, etc...) and for content tires that can even go beyond Nostr stuff (MP3, MP4, DOC, ....).
Would make building a great search UX in apps like @npub10r8…t2p8 easier too, ngl 😉.

2026-01-23 19:26:12 UTC

Badges for community moderation are neat because the key that awards the badges can be any key you want:
Your own community key, a hot-key on a server, someone else that already did/does the work of curating acceptable people in a way you like, ....
Communities can start by manually awarding Badges (I.e. access to parts of their community) and switch to a more automated hot-key signing flow later, if needed.
The only missing part for Badges in the current NIP is a way to request them. For this, I think Forms are the way.

2026-01-23 19:02:56 UTC

Just that's it wise to have some kind of warning or small text that says that you should only use the ZS tools for publishing apps you made or have the right to publish. Just in (court) case 😉.
And for prepopulating content that gets a bit weird (since you are by definition not the right-holder) but you're also not really publishing, so I wouldn't know what to do there.

Forms! I think they are awesome for this.
They let the Community literally ask anything, then you respond, then they do or do not give you the badge.
The badge awarding pubkey does not have to be the main commonty keypair btw. It can remain in cold storage, and the badge awarding keys can be live in servers handing out badges for the community (based on form responses or other things like being a top zapper or sth)
See my other post about it
#nevent1q…p7zr

2026-01-20 09:53:20 UTC

All Nostr long form should be Nostrified Markdown.
Wikis, Articles, Books, Docs, ...
No #asciidoc, #djot, ...
MD is the standard, despite its few flaws.
Just need to also parse and handle:
- nostr event and profile references
- custom emoji
- double square bracket links (wiki-style)
And for :book: Books and :documentation: Docs and the like you then only need an index event kind that brings :article: Articles or :wiki: Wikis together in a tree.
The 30040 events already get that kind of right, except that different content types (books, docs, ...) need to be **different** kinds, not just differentiated in a tag somewhere.

2026-01-20 09:22:58 UTC

My time away gave me some perspective on :Nostr: Nostr things. The #communikeys spec being one of them.
So I made it better (I think 😉):
https://nostrhub.io/naddr1qvzqqqrcvypzp22rfmsktmgpk2rtan7zwu00zuzax5maq5dnsu5g3xxvqr2u3pd7qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqqpahxjupdvdhk6mt4de5kketewv2v5xny
Or
#naddr1qv…5702
The right to publish content types is now 100% :badge: Badge based (no more fees or other complexity).
For this, Badges just need a one tag update that lets people request the badge from the author with a Form they fill in, which I think is useful for Badges in general.
#naddr1qv…8naa
Business, Brands and Apps that want to embrace Nostr already have:
- a pubkey by default
- very often some kind of members or subscriptions categories for their users/customers
So I believe this spec maps onto that really well. Little complexity (relative to other community specs) and tons of flexibility, all while keeping transparency to the users.
