nostr notes get immutably posted onto the hive blockchain

This is what I couldn't figure out from their website. So how do you pay fees for posting to their chain?

There are no fees to post on Hive. Unlike ethereum with gas, or most chains, Hive is free to post, comment, etc, which is really nice.

Well how due they decide who gets block space then?

To get space and use the chain, Hive uses "Resource Credits" (RCs). RCs are like gas or mana on other chains. A newcomer is gifted a small bit to get started and people are happy to delegate plenty of RCs to anyone generally interested in starting.

Then, as you earn rewards by posting/interacting/etc, your own RCs begin to recharge on their own. It's like a solar charging battery, you use the charge when you do stuff, but then it recharges gradually (if that makes sense!).
