Awesome. I've been thinking about the exact same problem, of basically turning strfry into a library. Even the same "nostrdb" name.

That user might not be posting onto the Mostr relay.
Trending tags in Ditto. It will be interesting to see how this scales. https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto/-/merge_requests/2

This is entirely the fault of the IWF and Microsoft, who create "exclusive" proprietary CSAM prevention software and then only license big tech companies to use it.


ChatGPT read NIP-01 and wrote a working Nostr relay, first try.

How is the Pixel's battery life? Samsung S phones have terrible battery life. It's a joke
The 5a is pretty good. I can usually go for more than 24h
There's so much male supremacist imagery I'm not sure even an antifeminist could truly fully hate it.
hello world
If they toured American Idiot in 2023 the world would know peace for the first time in decades. The nerds and the jocks would unite.

Mostr bridge troubleshooting
If you are a Nostr user and not seeing ActivityPub content:
1. Make sure you have at least one write relay added from the list on mostr.pub. The main relay goes down sometimes, and it's possible the others listed will be more reliable, to try a different relay.
2. Make sure you follow the users you are trying to see content from.
3. Make sure their server doesn't block mostr.pub. Usually servers will publish their blocklists, but sometimes they don't.
4. Only Mastodon, Pleroma (+forks), and Misskey are tested. We do not support Lemmy and others yet.
If you're an ActivityPub user:
1. Make sure you follow Nostr users you care about.
2. Those users need to be posting on one of the mostr.pub write relays. You can't force them to do it, but you can nicely ask. It's opt-in on the Nostr side.
Got gifted some hand sanitizer. Tried it and it was gross, sticky and white. Checked the ingredients and it contains freaking LACTOSE. Because people want milk in their hand sanitizer?! Y'all think vegans are trying to make you eat the bugs or whatever, but you've got it backwards. It's a conspiracy to kill vegans.

Soapbox has been awarded a grant by OpenSats! I've stepped down as Head of Engineering at Truth Social to pursue this mission full time. https://soapbox.pub/blog/soapbox-awarded-grant/
This is probably the dumbest coverage I've seen of the incident. But it's too hilarious not to share. https://crooksandliars.com/2023/07/foiled-again-top-exec-trump-s-truth-social
nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 saw this mentioned
“While it borrows many ideas from Mastodon (including its API), it is built on the Nostr protocol.”
does that mean if/when “Ditto” is built out and if/when Threads launches fediverse features that Nostr will likely have interop with Threads?
I’ve been hoping for something like this! 🤞
Threads + Nostr interop
Short answer: yes!
Slightly longer answer: it should already "just work" through the Mostr bridge once it launches, and I will update the bridge accordingly. Ditto will make it work even better.
