I guess I will get the nostr sub mad by posting here, but I'm not sure if there is a better sub to use in SN...
Pubky has been in a private beta for months and we recently completed a major update that includes opening the app to everyone.
You can access via proving you are not a robot via a small LN payment, or SMS, and you're in!

I'm curious if you all have plans to attract people from X and nostr or if you are going to pursue a more B2B angle and market it to builders.
For users, it feels like there a too many options, and even if Pubky offers large increases in self-sovereignty, users mostly seem interested in scrolling X. If I'm a normie, what is my reason to jump on PubKy?
expect someday that pubkey will ask you for KYC data...
you have been warned
Just use your own homeserver if that's a future concern. Your keys your data.
kiss your master balls if you want to control his balls...
Having a Jihan Wu moment there?
yes, maybe is time for you to fuck your master, tho
See some help. Get some hugs. It's going to be okay.
see some dick from your master.. suck it harder
Because I am notorious for all my love of KYC? Why are you such a lying bitter little bitch?
so, synonym is a tether company?
what differentiates this from NOSTR?
People should just read Bitkit T&C and will find out how little bitch you are.
Pretending to be a "freedom" fighter when in fact you are just a bootlicker statist. Right.
Regardingi Nostr, I think most of the hate me, and are tribally attached, so we won't really do any serious marketing there, maybe some trolling when I am bored.
They don't want something else, no point pretending otherwise.
On X, well, the algo and mktg approach changes there every month, maybe the only angle worth trying is the AI community, because Pubky's graph capabilities will also be hooked into AI features this year, and these are highly complimentary paradigms.
Regarding development using Pubky tech, we have hired a Developer Advocate to help, and we will likely also prioritize business development for integrations for specific aspects (like Paykit, when ready).
For users, the first phase differentiation is only the tagging, and subjective filtering features (custom feeds will be added this month).
I don't intend to harp about self-sovereignty of Pubky, instead we will demonstrate actual use cases that speak to their problems: algos that killed your reach and fed you slop, ecommerce without middlemen, spam-free ux, and more. But we have a lot more to build before we can clearly make some of those claims.
Major projects will be completed this year around payments and ecommerce capability.
I am still finishing the roadmap, but if you want, join our dev call this month, there's just too much recall in one reply!
Congrats! I been posting on pubky trying to have the stacker news tag trend. Then I ran into log in issues and gave up. But lately it’s been working smoothly on my iPad.
Does pubky work on mobile now?
Pubky.app should work well on mobile, but we haven't made a native app for mobile, and we still have a lot we can do to improve the PWA psuedo-app features.
Just tested worked like a charm with the pubky ring app
Does the home server federate?
No, not in the Mastodon/ActivityPub sense.
Pubky homeservers do not do server-to-server message delivery. They just host your data for your pubky (your key-based identity). Discovery and aggregation happen via clients and optional indexers/caches that read from homeservers.
See repos for pubky-nexus, pubky-core for the code, and pubky.org for more details!
This is a good model imo, the many iterations of spam that Nostr has suffered from over the years, could potentially be mitigated by this type of cost deterrent, think reply guy, NSFW 🔞 like illegal nsfw
Imo clients shouldn't get involved in censoring content like the Knotsi's are proposing
But the cost of entry should inhibit them
Lightning login is another great addition if you don't have it, SN obviously leading the way
