Haha, you might not be happy about this (in the short term).
I'm adding an image, description and form (for requesting to be added) to normal 30000 profile lists. It's way easier to have all that in one event. I can get the full list of whitelisted profiles for each section very fast, and can still display badge-like images for them, etc...
Spec will be in there asap.

The more you're gonna make relays announce stuff, the more you might want to look into #communikeys.
You could :110percent: have a #communikey that has a Reposts feed that is curating any content type around a certain topic.

You can't be a professional :nostr: Nostr project and link out to the repo to show people what it's all about.
You look like a joke. Better to publish your own docs with your 'version' of Nostr that you actually use in your apps.

Best case for 'decentralized social' is taking the model of 'Big Tech social' (free content + advertisers paying to get stuff under people eyeballs) and take it into a more honest and transparent route:
Paywall (or other publicly transparent limit) on writing in places where people go to read (communities imo).

Thanks, but Nostrhub doesn't find the event.

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.

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.

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.
