 I think #Nostr would greatly benefit, if we had some Reddit style communities. I don’t know how to implement it via different relays or something, but in order for people to find each other and similar interests it would be great to have a place where all the discussion about a certain topic happens. 

Maybe people could subscribe via hashtags?!

r/bitcoin was a big source of educational material for me, but if I had only come across Bitcoin stuff on Reddit it would’ve overwhelmed me in no time. I think something similar is happening with newbies entering #Nostr today. 

Anyways if anyone else is interested in the following topics, hit me up in the comments, I’d like to connect:

#veganism #esperanto #anarchism #permaculture #anticonsumption #science #solarpunk #lunarpunk #privacy #piracy #meshnetworks #fungi #biomimicry #cosmopolitan #community #architectureporn #treehouses #technology #activism #streetart #lifehacks 
 I think we already have it, at least in amethyst. At the top of the feed, it says "all follows" - tap that and it shows all the hashtags you follow. So then you're in a little room with only conversation relevant to that topic. 

No idea if people use it though... And we're all probably over labelling our notes. 
 communities exists, check https://satellite.earth/

this is a sub communities example, I created:

 Cool! I’ll check it out, thanks for making me aware 🧡 
 I want to follow scientific topics that are credible. It’s tough when these communities may opt in for more mainstream avenues because of exposure. I also would love to learn about programming but that seems to be difficult to find
