Subnostr

Great question. This is my first time trying to use them. I created it on Nostr.kiwi and I can post chats there but I can see how to pin/curate things or how to help others join.

I also can’t see the community in amethyst. nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z ideas?

For me -what’s going on, hashtag wise (trending) would be useful. If you just put a hashtag into search, nothing appears underneath-it’s empty. I get why-but not a familiar thing for people. If a list of what’s been hashtagged already, appeared underneath, this could help to navigate around a bit and increase content accessibility. I think some people are still basing a lot of their experiences here on the people they follow-not content because they are unsure of the hashtag thing.

Sorry, is this on Amethyst? When you search for a hashtag, the first reply should be an option to see the hashtag feed. The button is not as clear as I would like, but it is there.

Let me know if it is not showing up for you when you type #word on search. There might be a bug somewhere.

Damus shows you they exist, one tap allows you to see who reacted, reposted or zapped. The info is there, just hidden. There is more zen on iOS generally, remove the unnecessary, make the content king. Keep the info available at the cost of an extra user’s tap.

I don't think that is an iOS vs Android thing, it's just the app design style.

On Amethyst, the notification is supposed to be a glimpse of how your content was received. There is no need to go anywhere else.

I think the idea of meaningful reactions (which doesn't exist on Damus yet) is confusing for those not used to seeing and quickly parsing so many reaction possibilities. The emojis tell you a lot: Those who agree, don't agree, are happy to see the post, or the post left them thinking more about it. We want you to look at it and go: oh cool, I got a few people to laugh at this and two others to think about it. Nice.

Good collapsible thread views seem like the hardest thing to accomplish. I don’t think any client has gotten it right yet tbh.

Neither in Nostr nor in centralizing apps out there. It's indeed a challenge.

But we have to embrace it. Or we risk just being another centralization force in the world. :(

Do you honestly find that easy to follow? It just causes anxiety for me.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

It's better than Twitter's for sure. Especially for complicated reply structures with multiple conversations at once. Twitter's one only works when you are following a single branch of the conversation. It works because it forces you to go into your follows branches and ignore replies at each level. Which is not ideal.

But the current view needs work. We need to code a way to "close" branches so that when they break off and you are in the second branch, you can click to close and see the post the author was replying to.

Lots of work yet.

Lmao coming from the guy who makes users create entire forked versions of Amethyst before he listens to their feedback.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

I wish we had more forks. The more the merrier.

Funny story: my initial vision for Amethyst was to require every person to fork the repo on GitHub and when they did that, a GitHub action would change Amethyst's name/package id and release the user's own version of the APK, ready to install. One-click deployment type of thing. That was the only way I found to not centralize it on me.

That's why the app is in my personal repo. I was going to change the app id to people's usernames at every new fork-install. It would have been beautiful. True decentralization.

But people love to centralize.

They gave me feedback, I listened to it and decided to ship the app myself in the stores. It's worse, but it got us going.

BTW this indentation view looks absolutely insane to my eyes. I can't figure out which notes are replies to which.
