We sign json messages and send them over websockets to multiple servers for storage. Clients can pull down these messages for viewing. You can build censorship-resistant social networks, reddit-style communities, blogging platforms, etc using this tech.
How do I find different communities?
Hashtags
We tend to add “str” to things like #footstr #foodstr
Redditors finding #footstr is like when you stumble upon and obscure weird sub 😅
#pussython is not what it sees either
We love coffe. #coffechain
Not all clients support communities as of now.
If you are on Damus. I suggest following hashtags you like.
I'm using Amethyst and that seems to have hashtag following so I'll get hashing! Thanks.
Amethyst also has communities I believe. I don’t use it so I am not sure.
If you hit the little broadcast icon on the bottom of Amethyst (4th button over) you'll find the communities UI in app there.
If you like a reddit experience, try out Zapddit.com or Satellite.Earth.
Both have discovery functionality to discover communities. All is hooked and built on Nostr.
