awesome-nostr VS iris-messenger

There are some activitypub apps that support nomadic identity like HubZilla and Streams: https://codeberg.org/streams/streams

Another non-activitypub alternative is nostr, where you identity is a public/private key pair: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

For now the biggest clients are twitter-like clients. A few popular ones are Damus (ios), Nostros (android) or iris (desktop). You can find a bigger list of projects and relays here: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

Nostr seems really cool but regarding nvote it is listed as deprecated in the nostr implementations list and if you look at its commit history it seems pretty dead, with the last commit in Jan, a bunch of them in December and then nothing all the way back to the start of 2022... Also, it is listed as deprecated in part because a user's private key is handled server side, which invalidates a lot of the advantages of nostr.

Maybe you will find something else interesting here: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr check this repo. helps a lot to get an overview to all the implementations 🫂

https://www.nostr.net maintains a list of all known clients. I am a bit partial to astral, though it is resource intensive. You could try coracle, snort, or iris to see if they're more your fancy.

In addition, it should be noted that Damus is not the only product based on nostr. More related products can be found at this link.

2- Adding my profile name with iris.to it says my name is already used. So I know it is mine, assuming that's from the Damus profile. Now I seem to have 2?

I recently got into iris.to to access nostr on desktop. I was using my phone primarily but Damus seems to be broken. Does anyone know if there is an option to change the theme of the site? not a fan of the dark mode. +appearance tab doesn't show anything but "Show connected relays in header"

Nostr - https://iris.to - https://coracle.social

Interesting because on iris.to it still says false.

Web: https://snort.social, https://primal.net, https://coracle.social, https://iris.to

nope https://iris.to/

ok I'm new to this, just trying to get off the Musky mess… so I tried iris.to & astral.ninja & I simply don't get it : why do I see zero posts in so-called "global" mode ? I get I can't see some stuff without following accounts , but an absolute zero is weird & not very engaging, no way those will have the slightest chance to become popular in that state…

Iris is open source. Your bug report will certailny be appreciated here.

other nostr apps you can try (but no communities yet): amethyst (android), damus io, primal.net, snort.social , iris.to
