very exciting 🐸

According to Wikipedia:

Aerolux gas discharge light bulbs contained low pressure gas, either neon or argon, or a mixture of the two. Also within the bulb were metal sculptures coated with phosphors. These phosphors fluoresced when excited by glow discharge.

Thank you for pointing this out. I never used bsky or really understood its intention, but it's making some sense now looking back on it.

So in that regard Pubky is meant to be more about flexibility as an inherently property, to be redesigned as warranted to facilitate whatever type of community may decide to embrace it?

I am eager to run my own instance still, especially if I can at any point modify it to become a host of community-operated sub-boards.

It would seem like a particularly valuable feature of having Neo4j baked in. I don't really understand what the challenge is behind this concept in regards to Pubky.

I am not so concerned with creating a "new reddit" that must scale to the size of the old reddit, so much as finding or creating a template like reddit that can simply facilitate a medium-to-large, multi-faceted organization.

Consolidation Nation 🏳️

So the legends are true.. 🤔

I would like to build lots of things, for now I am slowly scratching away at a few things:

ribbit.wiki is my recent project of adding (better and more functional) Nostr support to mediawiki

Ribbit is my (very beta) reddit clone for Android based on the Boost for XYZ apps, recycling some of Amethyst code for better or worse.

Oni is a fork of Owncast which will implement live event broadcasting to nostr for sovereign streaming

And eventually we will make some video games with some degree of nostr interop 🤧

Going to reply individually as each comment has different points and questions.

As for this one, I agree but I would also suggest that Reddit has some of the best UI tooling in the web's history for niche and large communities.

I don't know exactly where everyone goes when leaving reddit and I would imagine the answer is different for many groups and people.

In my experience, the largest reddit exodus was about 3 years ago when people began flocking to Lemmy in response to third-party API changes. I found nostr in that same window of time and thought building an alternative to Lemmy would be better. A year later I ended up using all of these options. Reddit, Lemmy, Nostr, and Pubky. Anecdotally my own experience defies your proposal. And all who chose Lemmy effectively are still using the same UI conceptually. I use Boost for Lemmy which is just Boost for Reddit as the developer also moved to Lemmy in response to the API changes.

Discord has a tight hold on many communities as it offers a combination of "resources and conversations." I still use Discord of course, as many of my own communities have lived there for over a decade now.

And so my point here is going to be- it doesn't matter where people go. The UI capabilities and the concept of sovereign communities are what bring users to a platform to create their own communities. What creates staying power is if the communities can evolve to become their own platforms.

None of the centralized services want that for us. Nostr and Lemmy offer it to some degree. Pubky forgot that platforms should cater to multiple communities but it works as it stands for isolated community platform software.

Which, all of this boils down to, "indexing on nostr is cooked and makes it really difficult to provide highly-available notes at competitive speeds". For now. And perhaps this is my own shortcomings, but I don't see a lot of forward momentum in this area.
