Communities on nostr are abolute garbage regardless of UI. I know this because I tried to create, moderate and evangelize them.
There's 0 moderation tools. You need to approve EVERY note manually, including your own.
https://nostr.kiwi/ is a really interesting nostr app… never seen it before… how does do communities?

It sounds like you may be interested in nostr:npub10qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsg9arpj!
Check this out. It's domain-based communities with moderation tools:
Yep. Tried as well. Non starter.
There are Groups on Coracle that seem to be somewhat functional but I don't think many clients support it so it's also a non starter.
So, only zero moderation, 4chan-like forums can work? That may be what some people are looking for. Lol. Though even 4chan has some moderation.
nostr:npub1vrte73vdykqt45lz6jejq72eaca0nucym63yyr4yauay560xmkzsjkakqv the thing is 4chan forums have really heavy moderation.

Only the /b/ - random forum has lighter moderation, but it’s not the unmoderated forum that the internet thinks it is.
Interesting. This is my first time seeing the "janitor" application page. Yeah, 4chan was a wild place in the 2000s. It was the kind of place that toughened your skin or desensitized you to certain remarks or attacks.
I, myself, am a moderator of a forum that's now significantly more tame (some of the other mods engage in too much censorship) now than how it was eight or so years ago. The board has lost its spark/edge. If I were the admin, I'd do away with most of them.
