About Me

Well this got me banned

Feels like sometimes amethyst will post my stuff to a relay other than the one I'm running the approval bot on. Making post not always get approved.

New release of approval bot. More efficient queries because I'm using a "a" tag sub query recently added to the nostr dart library. Querying large relays a long time in the past should be no problem. This reduces my CPU usage greatly on the raspberry pi it's running on.

Adds a allowed users list if you want to restrict a community to only a few people without making everyone a moderator. If left empty it accepts everyone not in banned list.

Ads a banned words list so you can leave extra spicy or spammy content to be manually approved. Maybe you don't want to be auto approve anything with "Air Drop" Or "kill all minorities". Something like that.

> this community idea is a bit dumb

you mean how the approval stuff works? agree that it is setup a bit retardedly. i get wanting approvals to prevent bot spam/trolls but then the fact that the site offers practically NO configuration of any kind and just makes mods approve 100% of everything by hand is super lame. Gotta be a lot worse in communities that don't have people like MOB at least setting up a stop gap solutions.

But the whole site ui/ux here is kind of half-assed imo (at least if accessing thru the website). tags is more of a twitter-concept i think and i'm not really against the idea but i'd rather it work like reddit/lemmy. but even in the lemmy/reddit concepts list, i'd like to see things like sticky posts, expand/collapse on nested comments, block/hide/mute users, something to see the \# of comments per post when in the sub looking thru all posts, etc. And the navigation kind of sucks too. No bookmarkable pages for user subbed communities.. instead you have to load main page and then click a tab and then wait to load a list and scroll thru it.

anyway, i've heard amethyst or whatever has slightly better ui/ux but i don't use android apps cuz i fall into the ultra paranoid category of security fanatics (more that i dont trust android itself - i havent even looked at the app). and haven't had time to really look at desktop clients much yet. sounds like this month is going to be crazy busy for me too so i don't expect i'll find the time soon.

It needs some work. We could also create a ui that combines hash tags and nostr communities to get better experience. The reason I made the approval bot is dart was I'm wondering if I could make a new ui in flutter for nostr communities to handle some of this stuff better. You could have the app itself crowd source approving. For example, set the app to auto approve your communities if you have it open.

Being more decentralized to present a few new problems but they are interesting if they can be solved.
