 Taking @7fqx's advice and have created a Nostr group for VIDEOGAMES

Not sure how to share it but on web if you wanna use Satellite you can hit up https://satellite.earth/n/VIDEOGAMES 

(Actual url might need your npub on the end but w/e) 


This is like what, the 3rd? 4th? Time Nostr ecosystem has collectively re-done how groups work? We'll see if this one sticks 
 @Dielan @7fqx hop up. Nostr has groups before ActivityPub? 
 And they'll probably re-do it like 5 more times before AP has it


To be fair tho, this version is like a reddit clone. Posting into a group resembles posting into a subreddit

Meanwhile groups on gsoc (which is the standard we have been holding AP to) were more like a way to tag a bunch of people who opt-in to the group and you just slip the group tag into your normal public post. Imagine a twitter hashtag but using it notifies some people 
 Yeah, no idea how or if you can copy links to groups on #amethyst 
#asknostr 🤔 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 

Communities definitely works better than the 'chat groups' as was before. Feels more thought through and actively being worked on.

Would be great to have a webclient that treated groups as fully featured forums tho lol ;)
