@flareapp That's really great!
I will definitely try it, because many #Nostr apps accumulate huge amounts of cached data and I hope #Flare will be different.
Love you, guys ❤️❤️

Flare just got a big update!

We’ve added official Nostr support, including login, timelines, notifications, posting, replies, quotes, media upload, and relay management.

On iOS, we’ve also refreshed key parts of the UI with cleaner navigation, and a more polished tab experience.

What comes next will go even further: Flare is about to tear down one of the biggest walls in social networking: language itself.

#Nostr #Fediverse

@tmcw I am curious, have you ever looked at #NOSTR? Been playing around with it. It comes out of the Bitcoin community (which makes it slightly suspect to me).

#Nostr Relay in Rust building...

#SelfHosted #SysAdmin #Security #Privacy
📢 Launching DROPS, a public nostr relay dedicated entirely to music and playlists. 🎵

🎧 What is DROPS?
DROPS stands for "Dope Relay Of Phonic Stuff", a focused Strfry #nostr relay that only accepts:

🎶 Music tracks (kind 36787)
📋 Playlists (kind 34139)

🔊 Why use DROPS?
If you’re sharing or discovering music on Nostr, this is the place to store/read your notes! By keeping the relay scoped to music kinds only, you can filter noise and focus on what matters: the sounds. It’s public, open, and ready for your beats, bass drops, playlists, and sonic experiments.

🌐 Relay URL:
wss://drops.basspistol.org

Drop your track, share a playlist, or just browse a feed a pure Audio. Let’s build the sounds of Nostr together. 🎛🎶

How come that #Mastodon apps accumulate very reasonable cached data, even with showing media and all.
While #Nostr apps usually accumulate much more cached data?
Im übrigen hat man diese Defragmentierung auch #Nostr auch, wenn Leute nicht die gleichen Relays benutzen bzw. wenn die Daten nicht auf den Relays vorhanden sind die man nutzt. #nostrkurs

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116302845964923188

With #Holos, you can have your identity on your own domain. No server? A simple CNAME record is enough. Already have a server? Point a subdomain to handle #ActivityPub traffic and serve a static JSON file on your root domain.

This is a step toward the same sovereignty #Nostr offers with cryptographic identities, but staying in the #ActivityPub ecosystem you already know.
