Subnostr

I don't think it's a horrible idea. It could be interesting if executed correctly. Not everyone likes hell threads or even understands them though. Having it be completely opt it could be fun for those that want to get in. However the issue with hell threads is getting out. You can't on most clients. If a noob gets overwhelmed they're stuck and have to essentially suck it up. Proper and thorough explanations would be needed too.

nostr:npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0 had a great idea below

A bot that relies to #introductions posts with an onboarding guide 🤯

- Simpler and more efficient to implement than a client-side feature

- More customizable (link to a guide that can be updated as needed)

- Much wider reach/range than anything done on the individual client level

It could link to nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc's Nostr.how (I kno I owe you two PR cleanups Jeff, sorry for the delay 🫣), and/or any of numerous simple intro guides.

Perhaps even just to a single web page with “getting started, best practices, and more resources” guides and links.

I feel like this would answer a lot of the questions that came up during NostrVillage.

Am I missing anything obvious? Drawbacks? Has it been done before?

I guess it’s “centralizing” in a sense that everyone’s getting the same intro guide. But at the same time, anyone could build this if there were a reason to “compete” or something. Which if nostr gets to as far as that stage, it would be a good problem to have. So like that’s not an issue.

Do bots work this way? Like can it be connected to relays A through Z, follow a specific hashtag, and then reply to every post with that content that it sees?
