Cool! How do you handle the restricted communities? Is this a new NIP?

Yes, it's a new draft NIP from nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z from two weeks ago

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/602

This is too cool to be true. Is there a way to test it / give feedback prior to launch?

Would love to put a quick guide together too

Reddit on #Nostr incoming πŸ”₯

Do you intend to have a beta prior to a full launch?

Yup it’s alpha. It’s beta. Full launch is quite far away to be honest. Some important features are not yet included. Such as zap, and uploading images.

Cool, I’d love to be able to contribute to the testing if I can!

Here's the first Nostr Communities client to be birthed from nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z's NIP-172 Moderated Communities NIP that will allow Reddit like moderated communities on Nostr.

WHY? Why are we going backwards? πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Because people love organized content.

No, it is because people are comfortable with the old ways

You don't have to use their currated content if you don't want to. That's the beauty of Nostr!

It is just like saying you don’t have to shitcoin if you don’t want to. But unfortunately shitcoins soaks up all the extra funds that would have gone to #bitcoin and slowed its development. This will do the same.

Sounds like you're upset people will have the choice to use something other than the thing you like.

Welcome to the free market of ideas on open decentralized systems.

That’s right. It’s just another option to experience nostr. Damus, iris and all the others are still around.

And the best part is, for public community, its also using kind 1 note! Lovely nostr.

is the code available?

Not yet. Got to clean up first. Will be release.

nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn have you spoken with nostr:npub1ltx67888tz7lqnxlrg06x234vjnq349tcfyp52r0lstclp548mcqnuz40t ,zappedit creator?

Have not. I have checked out zappedit, following tags. Kind of different here, where public and restricted communities are curated content.

Followed you nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn 🀝

Congratulations on your client. happy to see another #NDK client πŸ™‚

I checked out the NIP last week but found a few gaps for me to create a good community experience.

Will take a look this week again to get an idea.

All the best and welcome to the nostr client world πŸš€

Name suggestions: Babilejo (Esperanto for "chat place") or Nostrorum (nostr + forum)

Nostrum?

Sweet!! Looking forward to checking it out!

Oh this will be perfect for what I was wanting to do with the "nostr tech support" group. Amazing!

Follow nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn friends.. he is working on a communities client. Let's show him some love ⚑

TestFlight please πŸ’œπŸ˜Š

Setup your own fucking relay. No moderator

Damus, Amethyst and iris are still available for use. Here is just another way of interaction on this protocol.

Means the protocol has capability y

to ban content.Hows this is different @jack

Then don't participate in a private community. Nobody makes you join.

Just like Go there if you don't like here

πŸ˜‚ Sir, are you lost? This is Nostr. I shall go wherever the fuck I please.

This simply allows you to participate in a moderated environment if you want to. It’s not forcing censorship on anyone.

So you’re analogy is very wrong. This is more of a β€œgo here if you’d like to go here, or stay where you are”

This sounds more reasonable

more like LinkedIn, reddit Join what you like. And moderators decide what you post

I thought this is also all about the choice what you want and whom you want to interact.

First moderators then policies and then bans .. The animal farm circus began here

Excellent idea, love seeing this implementated. Happy to contribute some ideas.

I'm no fan of censorship, but voluntary communities that are moderated and curated by individuals have a place. If I have a private group about home meat processing, there needs to be a way to excuse random shitcoin bots or assholes who aren't there to participate in the goals. This will facilitate projects and education, if you want to shit post do it anywhere else.

People question why Telegram is still used, Nostr not having a group focused client or space is why. Well done!

You know what’s cool, there can even have multiple β€œhome meat processing” communities managed by different groups of people, even through they use the exact same name. If you don’t like this community, just join another.

Let's start name and logo idea thread! I'll go first.

πŸ™ˆ

This is very exciting!

Super nice! nostr:note1dwqpathalwkdgc65zw965x4g8jjg7l9p4qht65qsss27tymrrunqea533e

All of these communities are going to need something like β€˜NIP-34 - Algorithmic Filter’ to sort posts within the community. Hopefully that gets ironed out soon.

Gonna check that out! My background is in recommendation systems.

nostr fix thisπŸ”‘
