This is just the first super basic implementation though.
That’s a good point about the curator/moderator distinction.
I was planning to add an option allowing the admin to set the community as either “pre-moderated” (posts don’t appear in main feed unless approved) or “post moderated” (posts appear in main feed unless removed).
What do you think nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn ?
Definitely need both options. Reddit has communities that are heavily curated and some that are more open and lightly moderated. I would have my one community be open for anyone to post without approval if I could.
Depends on the nature of the community for sure
I suspect most useful communities will be full of spam post requests very quickly. Like 10x more spam posts than actual content. So, removing things from the community (by adding a flagged event is not good - too many flags to download just to filter bad stuff out). There is no filter in Nostr relays for posts that have NOT been reported. The client must download everything.
That's why I only created the pre-moseration. It makes the job of listening clients easier while allowing post approval apps to offer automatically "approve everything from trusted authors"-type of feature.
Do this…

on the bright side the conversation is happening on nostr 😉
That makes sense. I suppose clients will need to pull all recent posts tagged for that community in addition to the whitelist of trusted pubkeys and then filter the posts client-side, because for some of the larger communities the number of whitelisted pubkeys will exceed the max length of the authors filter.
just open feeds probably isn’t a good idea, hashtags for that. but if there is a way to say these pubkeys are approved for auto submission and a way to update that list, and a dialog for due notice about the intention. Although I like 172 just think it should be called curated topics to avoid this critical reaction to the phrasing “Reddit-like”. And maybe pre approved should be an separate community add on nip.
