Announcing "subreddits" on Nostr
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:

What if we made something like an app store for PWAs on nostr?
So what comes after Feudalism?
After the past few weeks of building it's time to push this prototype out and get some feedback from users —
Announcing Satellite CDN: Scalable media hosting for the nostr ecosystem!
- Upload video and other large files, up to 5 GB each
- Simple flat-rate pricing, buy storage with sats
- Fast, free and unlimited data transfer
- Integrated NIP-94 censorship resistance
- Developer-friendly API
I feel like a "native" nostr solution for hosting and streaming large videos could really help with adoption and I'm curious about how Satellite can support specific use cases.
API docs coming soon.
