 This is so amazing; thanks so much! I have a lot of this in the roadmap for #olas

The main big thing I want to tackle next is supporting NIP-29 communities; so you can join and browse throughout different topics/themes - some could be created around, e.g art, some could be created around a specific artist or style. Some could be closed (for family pictures for example) and some could be open.

This being nostr, those communities could later grow to other content types, a chat, a forum, live streams,  in-person events, marketplaces, etc etc etc

Do you think this is something your friends would be interested in? 
 It’s definitely stuff they would be interested in the long run! (Who wouldn’t? :)

Communities, topics and themes to follow are very interesting for making it easy for them to find upon onboarding people who are interested in the same stuff they are, and not have to settle on either getting onto a client where you’re basically on your own at the beginning or being dumped into a feed full of bitcoin talk 😇

But as many others used to the siloed options they use such as instagram or tiktok, they will first be looking to be able to do most stuff they can do in those siloes, and are incapable of visualizing what #nostr uniting all these things like forum, chats, live streams and marketplaces means 😅

They have grown used to seamlessly share content (pictures and video), to navigate stories, to repost in their feeds/stories and share stuff they like directly with their friends and the people they follow via DM or group chats :)

But they will learn to understand the awesome implications of it as they start playing around with it. 🤙
And i think we can’t underestimate the power of having something that feels like insta to them, but where their feed isn’t cluttered by stuff (mostly ads) that the algo pushes to you.

This is looking great! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RELENTLESS CONTRIBUTIONS 🧡

Btw, also, a notifications tab would be great  (although i’m sure that’s also on the roadmap ☺️)

Cheers!
