Welcome to the official nostr community in lemmy.world, home to all things Nostr.

Nostr is an innovation in how digital text can be sent and received. Anyone can join and anyone can build apps freely using the protocol.

There's almost certainly something here for you. Let's dive in!

Over the past two months alone, #nostr users have tipped other users 1,624,227,344 sats (approx 960k USD) over #lightning. This is why nostr will become the default social network, no other social network is paying content creators like this. All in under a second for pennies in fees, all without ads.

TIDAL is embracing Nostr, and may be a signal that other companies under Block's umbrella might make similar moves. It's only a small demo at this point, but it demonstrates the company's first commitment.

I have known about Nostr for a while, but I have not been able to get into it. One reason is that people always talk about Nostr and BTC. It seems to have decreased a bit now. Unfortunately, I cannot afford paid relays. I believe people are not discovering my writing. Nostr users, how do you discover new people? What can I do to increase my visibility?

If is my nosta page if you want to follow me.

I found a WIP flutter/dart client for nostr. Dart is a great programming language to use since it allows a single code base that can be compilled into an app for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and Mac.

Also the Thunder app, a Lemmy client is written in dart and is a well polished client for Lemmy.

Hope for people work on this nostr client than any other client since anyone can enjoy the features this client has to offer, regardless of their device.

nostr seems like a twitter, instagram and youtube platform were the content flows like this...

user -> post -> comments

Where the user have an account and posts content which others can like, dislike and comment on.

However reddit and lemmy flows like this...

community -> post -> comments

Communities are moderated by one or more users. Moderators can remove posts and comments in their communities to keep the communities subject from going off topic.

With all of this being said here are my questions...

  1. Is it possible to create communities on nostr
  2. Can you have two communities with the same name? Does each community have a unique ID like nostr accounts have a unique public key?
  3. Can one or more users moderate a community? Can the moderators delete posts and comments in their community?
  4. Can a community not allow anyone but moderators to post in the community?

I found this website as it was linked from https://nostr-resources.com/#clients which in turn was linked from https://snort.social/e/note1g6numqqhrxlwku6cnwfrxhkrjvytn0dej85uew8gkneyyutgvcdsnm0y7p

I recall that several months ago when I heard about nostr for the first time I didn't find guides on how to post, nor where I could download a client, so hopefully sharing these links will help people onboard!

I haven't heard much. I know there is mostr but I don't think that includes lemmy. Does anyone have some info?

Can you download your data from relays? This will be useful for understanding how nostr works as you play around with it and also be good for privacy.

Are E2EE DMs stored on relays forever or only until the recipiant recived the message?
