feel like agora road crowd would probably be into nostr, shame there isn't really a discord alt or viable forum/group client for them to mention in this post

#grownostr

nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl there's a market for a Discord/Slack competitor built on Nostr.

I think the community functions improving and expanding in eg Nostrudel would be 'good enough' for some people hoping to migrate here.

But there's currently no place on nostr to point to a group who wants to leave discord/Guilded and set up a permanent home here. I just the other day had this problem when recommending nostr to a small community

...guilded, a discord alt, now forces new users to sign up with a Roblox account lol

Matrix is probably where people are most likely to try as an alt. Until /unless nostr decided to enter into this alt world :)

To be fair roblox (the company) literally bought gilded lol

I think that's something nostr:npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku might soon work on. A general-purpose concept.

And nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q has a cool idea of putting a community/forum, wiki, booklist, etc. inside of a private group, so that you have a chat at the top of the page and then the top-listings below, or similar.

So that you could have, like, Catholicstr and it's got a "general chatroom", a "Basics of Catholicism" handbook, the Catechism, Encyclicals, Catholic Bibles, wiki pages the group manages (about the Vatican and religious orders, etc.), article feed for everything tagged #catholic, and then the community forum at the bottom.

GitRepublic 2.0 should offer something like that, for devs.

But most people using such programs aren't devs, so someone should focus on solving that more generally. We'll be using the same events, so I don't see them as competitors. (Yay, interoperability!)

I guess it would just look like an interactive website for all-things-Catholic or all-things-hiking or all-things-physics, etc.
