Nostr Web Client

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking how my posts show up as "from gleasonator.dev" on other Nostr sites? Or are you just asking how posts display from my POV on Gleasonator?

Sort of the other way around. What I mean is can I expect every new note that you (Sprate) post on Nostr, regardless of what client you use, to show up for me here under the gleasonator.dev tab? As long as both of us are members of gleasonator.dev? Or is there some way you make it known to gleasonator.dev that you'd like a particular note to be highlighted for the community there? (New note, not a reply.)

Just using gleasonator.dev as an example to get at how communities work in general on ditto.

That's how it works if you both are on gleasonator.dev together you both will see all posts from all who are on the community tab. If you follow the same relays or profiles, yes you both will be on the same timeline

I'm not seeing my own posts under the gleasonator.dev tab (new posts). Or maybe posts are visible to other members but not you yourself?

Can you help me with a check, are you seeing my posts under that gleasonator.dev tab (without diving into threads)?

Ahh, gotcha.

I believe that that tab is only for posts made specifically THROUGH Gleasonator. If I were to go login on Primal using the same key and make a post, I don't believe it would show up on that tab.

Ditto, the frontend software that Gleasonator uses, is based off of Alex's Fediverse frontend Soapbox, which had functionality to show all the posts made by users on the instance you were posting from. I'm pretty sure the gleasonator.dev tab at the top of the site is just that.

Ah thanks, that makes sense. I see Soapbox was first built in a Mastodon context, but since Nostr does not have instances like Mastodon does I'm trying to figure out what Ditto considers an "instance" in a Nostr context.

How exactly do you make a post THROUGH gleasonator.dev? I've tried composing posts when inside gleasonator.dev, but those posts don't show up for me under the gleasonator.dev tab (just the HOME tab). Maybe they show for others under the gleasonator tab but not me? Or maybe there is moderation that keeps them out?

Your posts and replies all show there though. Somehow you're a first-class citizen there!

You may have to follow yourself llok

Garbage nsec 11mo ago

Lol. I'm following you now but your posts and replies aren't showing there like Sprate's are. Are you a member of gleasonator.dev?

unknown 11mo ago

No I'm on primal

Garbage nsec 11mo ago

Can you try going to gleasonator.dev and replying from there?

I can see if I can log in with my nsec

Nope, not seeing your replay in Home or Gleasonator tab (as a top-level post).

I suspect now that the gleasonator.dev tab is for the team at gleasonator. dev only. I thought that "gleasonator.dev" tab was for the forum itself, and "Home" was for all of Nostr. But now I suspect Home is actually for the forum itself (it just looks like all of Nostr to me because so many people I know are members of gleasonator.dev.)

Either way not seeing your post yet.

Or could it be that the gleasonator.dev tab is for the team at gleasonator. dev only? I thought that "gleasonator.dev" tab was for the forum itself, and "Home" was for all of Nostr. But now I suspect Home is actually for the forum itself (it just looks like all of Nostr because so many people I know are members of gleasonator.dev.

you have to get a registered name for your posts to show up there. I run ditto on poster.place, free nip05 names. Become part of our community. Cleaner Global Timeline than other ditto instances

Garbage nsec 11mo ago

Ah ha. Maybe you can solve the mystery. There seem to be 3 feeds in a Ditto implementation, in your case that's HOME and POSTER.PLACE and GLOBAL TIMELINE.

Which feed shows what and to who in what state?

Vivi Nella Verita 11mo ago

Global is Nostr-wide, everything at once

Poster.place - Whoever is registered there with a poster.place nip05 name.

I personally only use global. you see everything on nostr and don't miss anything.

Home is your followings

Garbage nsec 11mo ago

Thanks but still a little confused. In oder to "join" a Ditto community I'd need to give up my current nip05? That seems like quite an ask to join a community, and how would one join multiple communities?

I'm guessing I'm missing something simple here.

Garbage nsec 11mo ago

Your global timeline spam filtering is useful. Are you running poster.place entirely on your own infra? Or are you calling ditto's backend for things?
