What are your guyes first impressions here?
What are your guyes first impressions here?
Seems like a decent fallback to lemmy-based EH so far. I think feature-wise, the lemmy instance has a lot nicer experience right now but I see the potential here.

### Things I thought were kinda neat:
* obviously the whole decentralization / blocking concepts here are great
* liked how the subs allow multiple communities to use the same name since they are actually based on id. Like on Reddit, there is r/memes but then some people didn't like the karma requirements and wanted a separate meme sub so r/meme was created. IIUC, here, they could both be n/memes but they'd just have a different underlying id. Yeah, I know maybe different more unique names are probably better 98% of the time but I thought it was cool that you could still do it if you wanted to and it's basically like "Jim's memes" and "Bob's memes" behind the scenes.

### Things Im missing or haven't figured out yet:
* ability to upvote individual comments under a post
* thought I saw something about not being able to delete posts. It appeared to work when I hit delete button though. Does this mean if someone did something monumentally stupid, let's say had personal info copied on clipboard and wasn't paying attention and posted it... Does that mean someone (not site admins but like another user) accessing nostr at a lower level like with cli tools or something would be able to see that? Haven't done anything like that yet but still want to understand if it's a risk.

Some things I am finding slightly annoying / see a good idea for a feature request/PR (assuming I ever get around to studying and playing with the codebase):
* in admin stuff, if you create a community here, it seems that you need to manually approve each and every post which is tedious as fuck. In Reddit, Kenny, kbin, and most other social sites I have used, there are sometimes pre-publish mod bots and such but manual moderation is more of a post-publishing task and doesn't really gatekeep content or make a huge burden on moderators. Not that I have tons of mod experience or anything; I don't. Current experience just seems like a weird and onerous way of doing things though.
* lack of url for certain pages like the list of all/subscribed communities, certain user settings pages, etc. Probably just a personal preference... I'm not a big fan of fly-outs and modals and that type of design aesthetic. Also like being able to bookmark or send links to people without having to repeat or explain extra steps though.
* Some places seem to only allow npub which is fine. But send like being able to search by display name might be good too. Example: i created a dankmemes sub here cuz I wasn't sure what "common sense" in the memes community meant to the guy that owned it and didn't want to spam the shit out of his sub since it didn't seem to have stuff similar to what I usually post. Tried adding more admins and had to keep going back to my following tab and copy/paste npubs. Would have been cool if I could just type display name and have people I'm associated with, like following/followers, appear. Not a biggie, but maybe an idea for down the road.
I did find a github repo that appears to be for the web ui:
https://github.com/lovvtide/satellite-web
I am thinking on holding off and letting things stabilize rather than bugging devs with feature requests/suggestions at too early of a stage. What are your thoughts?
