nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 and nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z recently added support for live streaming on Snort and Amethyst. This allows streamers to live stream their content from coding sessions, to video games, to live talk shows, and even to news.

Streamers are especially good for Nostr's growth because they can attract new users to the protocol. When a streamer live streams on Nostr, their viewers can see the platform in action and see how it can be used to create and share content. This can lead to new Nostriches joining Nostr and starting their own streams.

Why will they do this? *ZAPS!*

Zaps are Nostr's hidden gem inside decentralization and censorship resistant communication. You don't have to register anywhere or submit KYC information. You don't have to meet any centralized requirements. You just add a Lightning address to your profile and start streaming. It's that easy to get tips for your content. Twitch and YouTube can't do that.

In addition, streamers can help Nostr grow by promoting the platform to their current viewers as they mention they have a new place to stream. When a streamer talks about Nostr on their stream, their viewers are more likely to check it out. This can lead to a snowball effect, as new users who find Nostr through streamers then start streaming themselves, attracting even more users to the protocol.

Content creators are a valuable asset to Nostr. They can help the protocol grow by connecting with new users, promoting Nostr to their audiences, and building relationships with their followers. As Nostr continues to grow, content creators will play an increasingly important role in its success. They'll come for Zaps, but stay for the ecosystem, decentralization, censorship resistant communication, and being part of building the future.

Hey everyone — my initial implementation of the NIP-172 draft proposal for Reddit-style moderated communities is now live on Satellite!

Want to see an example?

Check out n/satellite - a nostr community I've just created for Satellite-specific questions, feature requests, etc.

Do you have an idea for a community for which you'd be willing to take on the role of founder/moderator?

You just need to decide on a name and fill out the info for banner image, description, and rules. I'm working on creating a directory of communities, but for now, please drop a link to your new community as a reply to this post.

If we can position nostr as a credible alternative to reddit it could be huge.

Here's some screenshots:
