The idea of adding more reddit-like UX/experience to Rostra came back to me with some motivation to try it out. Basically channel with upvotes and downvotes.

Though I’m not sure how to exactly go about it yet.

Should “social” and “reddit” be somewhat separate UI entirely, or should it be folded as a tab somewhere?

And then what exactly a “subreddit”/channel/topic would be.

Maybe anyone could create an event that basically creates a “community”, and then “replies” to that event would be “posts within community? And then replices to these posts would be comments and upvotes/downvotes.

There are three ‘types’ of social networks:

Twitter like - Nostr is mostly like that, and as is Blue Sky. Its basically tree like comments.
Reddit like - It has topics/rooms/subreddits, which allows for things to be converge on same topic. You basically post on some topic ( name of room/subreddit).
A group chat: This is another way to collect people on same topic ( name of group/room name).

With main Rostra, you have covered 1. Now its up to you whether and how you want to support 2 and 3. IMO, the next desirable step would be group chat. The twitter like setup is quite like reddit like thing, if you just add a tag to every thread, you can combine it into one ‘subreddit’.

About moderation: main thing to consider is that assume that if your group or ‘space/place’ isn’t moderated, any random person is going to be spamming it.

So start from there, as in who is moderating some space, and whether it needs moderation.

If Rostra group/subreddit is going to be used within a “circle of trust’ or ‘web of trust’, then moderation requirements are minimum. But if it accessible as read-only , or as read-write place for random trolls, then what kind of interactions are possible.

I’m still alive. I hope you are doing well too!

Nice. All alive here too!

Did it ever sync?

I did one test around 1 June, and today on 5 June same problem: rostra.me can read posts from localhost, but localhost cannot read latest posts or latest replies from rostra.me /5

I should post more on Rostra.

I’m not very motivated recently, but I added bunch of under the hood improvements.

please stay motivated ! :)

I see the link for each post. Great feature…

I did, but I don’t think it got noticed. 🤷

(Personal)#

could you tag a version in your github repo ?

Mostly, yes. Not going to lie. This place does not get a lot of action :D

You should post a link to your project on hacker news https://news.ycombinator.com

Or if you think about other sentient species in the universe, I’m not sure.

Great it works ! hello from France 😉

I’m a little terrified how Alex Jones and me look alike. Especially that anger level is similar, just about different things.

“It’s all a conspiracy of global cloud vendors. They poison the ecosystem with bloated SPA frameworks and JS slop to enrich themselves!!! They don’t want you to own and control your own server. They want you enslaved!”

hello, do you see my post ?

Oh, hello. :D

hi.. GM.!

GM!

Chances are the cpu bug is gone.

👍️👋🎉

(Personal)#

yes… its gone..

Did it eventually reconcile?

The way messages are exchanged is not exactly real-time currently.

Also, when two devices are posting at the same time, both need to get messages from each other, and then one of them will “merge” them using an empty event (as everything is a DAG).

There’s a lot that could be improved there, but it’s an implementation detail, and shouldn’t matter for normal usage in an early project.

Its possible I was not looking at the right tab. The followee tab does not show self posts, as I understand, so I need to get used to that.

Reactions are out on rostra.me.

Let’s make a test to see how unintuitive is making them. See if you can make a reaction!

Can’t react as of now…
