stacker news already supports nostr integration in the following ways:

(1) in SN settings you can import a nostr key

(2) then you can toggle SN to automatically post all your future SN content on nostr

(3) if someone zaps your SN content on nostr and you use your username@stacker.news as your LN address, the zap automatically goes to whatever wallet you set up on SN

(4) and if they include a message with their zap, the message shows up in your nostr notifications and in SN notifications

IMO there are only two things missing from this integration:

(a) if someone *not on* SN creates a nostr post, it doesn't show up on SN

(b) if someone uses nostr to *reply* to one of your SN posts (which they can do if you use feature #2 above), it won't show up on SN

I believe k00b has said in the past that this is because posts & replies on nostr are free whereas they are supposed to cost something on stacker news. That's the *point* of stacker news, it's the platform's first line of defense against spam. So if k00b allowed posts and replies from nostr to show up on SN, users would have a work-around to bypass its key feature, and that's no good.

But he *does* allow zap-messages to show up in your SN notifications just like they do on nostr, and I think that's because when you send a zap, it *does* cost money, so it's fine.

We have plans to be more interoperable, and eventually follow similar pubkey identity and client-to-many-servers model, but it's not the priority at the moment (lightning inventiveness and incentiveness stuff are). If you need a #nostronly community I'd recommend https://satellite.earth/.
