People could be onboarded to follow topics rather than/ as well as people. Not sure any clients do that now and I just don't know 🤔

Yep, on my list. Coracle has a version of this. But I think the Home of Amethyst can be a list of topics in the same way the Messages screen starts with a list of people. The "all follows" would be just one option in the list.

Came here after I was having issues syncing my mastodon instance to check it out. So far, all I am seing (via Nostrid) is cryptobros conspiring...

I'm afraid you're not seeing the bigger picture. If you don't like what you see, say something different :) Welcome, I hope you do stay, and enjoy!

Wym conspiring? I'm just an entry-level Shitposter. I don't understand a quarter of what people are saying on here. But I still have my fun.

Thanks for your service

I was observing the global feed for half a hour and some while listening to a podcast. Still, now that I have set this up, I'll just peek in from time to time. Who knows, something of my interest could pop up any time! :) And, thanks a lot!

My pleasure!

Should the a tag on member posts be optional? A moderator could choose to approve posts for their community that were not posted directly there to bootstrap it.

I would say so. There is no need for the post request. Somebody could keep watching #bitcoin and add to their /r/<user>/bitcoin only the cool posts from the tag.

Is/can poster submit to just <d-identifier of the community> (/bitcoin) or poster is separately submitting to /vitor/bitcoin & /bob/bitcoin ? ____ I don’t hate that it can be any kind, but can there also be a group post kind that gets filtered from other clients?

I like that

Hmm

Nostr filters work better in this way. Besides, community management apps can offer automatic approvals if those users that have been approved before. Lots of freedom.

looks empty to me.

Yup seems that way. Apparently, need to pay 500 sats to have submission privs. But was looking through its code.

is it open source?

do NOT enter your private key in that site.

Yes, it lists their git in the site footer, that is how I was scoping it out. And agreed, do not paste your privkey there. Test with a fresh unless, unless you create your own gateway or there is an extension that supports it.

good idea. it didn't accept my private key for some reason anyway, so i got scared.

Its ok, we are all on a spectrum

Thanks for the shoutout @elsat

that would be wicked. and responses won't be deleted like on #stackexchange

No reason why we can't have both. People fill up fedi hashtags with garbage on purpose, there is no reason that won't happen here too.

so if someone fills a tag with garbage i would call that #tag misuse, so enter #moderation on that tag or maybe just report the user for spam or tag misuse, and maybe tag misuse #reports hides them from all your tag views yes we can have both and should because the best should win out in open adoption, i have used communities and the approval aspect is quite dumb, there is also lots of dev on communities but not #tags and filters ie including moderation i think filters are core to #nostr, after all a follow feed is just a filter

That's the problem with Mastodon, it's a million tiny echo chambers ruled by lil tyrants. But also nostr is an open protocol, clients can implement whatever features they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mastocrap if a nostr app dominates it will set the protocol narrative
