Announcing "subreddits" on Nostr

Hey everyone — my initial implementation of the NIP-172 draft proposal for Reddit-style moderated communities is now live on Satellite!

Want to see an example?

Check out n/satellite - a nostr community I've just created for Satellite-specific questions, feature requests, etc.

Do you have an idea for a community for which you'd be willing to take on the role of founder/moderator?

You just need to decide on a name and fill out the info for banner image, description, and rules. I'm working on creating a directory of communities, but for now, please drop a link to your new community as a reply to this post.

If we can position nostr as a credible alternative to reddit it could be huge.

Here's some screenshots:

Cool. So I created a community, n/itysl, and made my first post. It got a spam reply immediately. Will I be able to remove comments eventually?

Other thoughts: This seems like a much better potential Reddit clone that zapddit. One of the charms of Reddit is that each community is curated by moderators that keep things on topic and civil. As much as everyone hates on Reddit mods, they do cultivate a certain vibe in their communities that makes Reddit more fun and usable. It's nice to be able to go into a niche subreddit and find very specific discussion and memes about the topic at hand. That doesn't work without a moderator to curate the community. I know you're just getting started, but it looks great so far and I'm really excited to see how this develops.
