Hi,

Why Stacker News doesn't allow to create communities?

Because we haven't built it yet.

reply

So it's on roadmap?

reply

Yes

Will have interoperability with communities from Nostr?

reply

Our plan is to be generally interoperable with nostr so that stackers that opt in to republishing their posts/comments/zaps to nostr can do that.

I haven't looked at the nostr communities spec but I imagine we can allow republishing of communities too.

reply

Amazing.

reply

Oh that's exciting, looking forward to seeing it

reply

Can you explain what you mean in more detail?

reply

I just see some pre defined subs on stacker news, like tech, nostr, bitcoin. How to create new ones?

reply

SN is a fairly new site. It's possible that you may have that option in the future. In the meantime, look what @grayruby is doing with his daily sports post.

reply

I see this as one of the future steps (an important one I must say).

As a fan of decentralization and interoperability, I would also see some kind of integration with the "lemmy" federated network as a big plus. The benefit here is that SN would be the superior tool in the whole network.

reply

Yes, it's very important. For now it's impossible to filter content in different languages. If we have option to create communities, would be a lot easier to bring people to stacker news.

They probably don’t wanna deal with annoying mods like on Reddit
