Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that’s worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn’t have any followers so your posts wouldn’t get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain

- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients

- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed

- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

If you're interested - go take a look at NIP-73 External Content IDs to see how we're referencing podcasts on nostr in a way that any client can query them:
