Is there any chat/group to discuss Nostr ?

[DestBro]

Is there any group or chat to discuss with real people about Nostr ? I need to speak with a real person, reading tons of documentation or nips most of the time don’t answer the questions I have

[fiatjaf]

You're right, we should have such a thing.

Maybe https://chachi.chat/groups.0xchat.com/lWGD0gVg2fjUvfbh will be it.
There is also a Telegram group at https://t.me/nostr_offtopic.

But the actual best way currently is to go on Nostr and publish a note mentioning other developers. What is your npub?

You can also join wss://relay.nostrtalk.org via https://app.flotilla.social using invite code 4SMW2H32

[fiatjaf]

Oh, that worked very smoothly.

[staab]

Next release will be even better

@staab, fyi, it doesn't let me continue. The page before says 'invite code' but then it only says relay URL and invite link.

Is this https://chachi.chat/groups.0xchat.com/lWGD0gVg2fjUvfbh a Nostr protocol based group ?

@fiatjaf Imagine I want to build a reddit kind of platform, people can write, reply, and other can search for messages to find if someone already responded, how would you do that in Nostr ?

• What kind of nips to use to create the group chat/forum-like environment ?
• What nips to use for messaging searching ?

What if I want vector searching/semantic searching support via messages embeddings ?

[fiatjaf]

NIP-29 should describe how to do arbitrary groups for chat or forum-like experience. Groups are managed by a single relay (although they can move to other relays) so it should be relatively simple to implement.

Also you can use NIP-50 for the search, since all the group content will be in the same relay that should also be simple. NIP-50 specifies an arbitrary "search" string in REQs, but the same REQs can also take other common properties, so searching only inside a specific group would take the "#h" tag, for example.

[fiatjaf]

Yes, the Chachi link above is for a NIP-29 group.
The same group is also available at https://app.flotilla.social/spaces/groups.0xchat.com/lWGD0gVg2fjUvfbh

If other clients want to write to my groups (hosted on my relay), and also read, search, or filter them—can they do that?
The search format is somewhat standardized, but if custom searching is required, then it would fall under extra-protocol functionality.

[DestBro]

If other clients want to write, and to read/search/filter on my groups (hosted on my relay) can they do that ? Is searching format somehow standardize ?

Ok I see it's possible, since both platforms:
https://chachi.chat/groups.0xchat.com/lWGD0gVg2fjUvfbh
https://app.flotilla.social/spaces/groups.0xchat.com/lWGD0gVg2fjUvfbh
somehow have access to the same group, user does not even know where is it hosted

My fault, I had the code set to single use. Try this link:
