Hey there

> Can there be multiple communities with the same name?

Sort of. Communities are "namespaced" to the pubkey of the person who founded them. So for example, there is not a single, global n/. Rather, I can start a community like n// and you can start another community like n/AI/. This allows competition among moderators and prevents people from squatting valuable names (unlike reddit where the first person to register a name owns that name globally, forever).

> Is there a way to change the community "metadata" (name, logo, description, rules, mods) after creation?

Yes. On https://satellite.earth, you'll see a list of all the communities that you've founded or are a moderator of in the 'Communities' section when signed in. If you click 'Settings' next to one of your communities it will bring up a form where you can edit its metadata.

> Anyone building a way to check the size and health of each community (number of followers, number of posts)?

I'm working on that right now actually! (assume others are as well)

Awesome thanks for al the straightforward answers. Looking forward for that last one!

Great info! I have some follow up questions:

1) is there a plan for a PWA for mobile users?

2) can community ownership be transferred? E.g. if my key gets compromised and I want to migrate the community to a secure account.

2) is this compatible with any keychain I can use so that I'm not pasting my nSec into my web browser?

Thanks for the awesome work!

There are PWAs available already. You use https://nostr.kiwi and https://zapddit.com/. The former supports NIP-46, allowing you to log in with nsecBunker. Here’s my detailed guide on how to use this tool: https://lnshort.it/nsecbunker

The second question of yours is related to the Nostr protocol. It’s not yet sorted, but ima sure it will be.

You're a boss
