We’ve released a big update of nos.social (npub1pu3…tfch) in the leadup to the launch of of the creators and journalist residencies.
Check it out:
We’re working on performance and hygine in the app while we also redesign the user discover and search functionality. In the last few months we did about a hundred user interviews with current, former, and future Nostr users.
We found a few things which jumped out at us.
* We discovered that the Nostr community is broadly considered friendly and welcoming.
* Almost everybody wanted there to there to be content on other topics beyond bitcoin. This was the case with both people who considered themselves bitcoiners and also those who didn’t identity themselves as bitcoiners.
* Most Nostr users felt welcomed, but a small number of people were agressive in harassing other users. We need to develop decentralized permissionless solution to these problems if we want Nostr to grow to it’s potential with hundreds of millions of users.
To address these issues we’ve created a program to highlight content about other topics beyond bitcoin. These folks are using bitcoin, they’re being setup with lightning wallets, and promoted in the app to help them be discovered without the centralized algorithms. Once this launches it’d be great to welcome these creators and journalists and validate the business model of micropayments and subscription content over zaps.

NEW FEATURES
- Discover tab now features accounts instead of content, making it easier to find different types of people to follow.
UPDATES to EXISTING FEATURES
Content moderation is a key element of curating one’s own feed. To that end we’ve made some updates across our content moderation tools to simplify the process and minimize harassment.
- Moderators now have the option to “Send to Nos” for review & labeling
- Instead of “reporting” we’ve updated the language in the app to reflect the intention of NIP56 which is more about labeling.
- Fixed duplicate content labels so they read correctly in Nos.
SEARCH
- We have stopped using nostr.band for things other than search, which should improve both search results and performance of the app.
MENTIONS LINKS
- We improved the UI for displaying mentions and clicking on mentions links across the app. This includes Display Name mentions, NIP05 mentions and NPUB mentions.
- We are now publishing the relay list when registering a new NIP-05 username so
that other users can find you more easily.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed an issue on Mac where Edit Profile screen sometimes did not appear.
- Fixed an issue where registering a NIP-05 username field could fail silently.
- Fixed an issue where users named with valid urls were unable to be mentioned correctly.
