Very fancy! Well done!
Would be cool if it could be imported/exported to a file!
:misskey: Missing out over here though, so I'm very curious about running #ditto
On this evening of September 11, I am pleased to announce that I have tagged a Ditto alpha1 release and deployed it to https://gleasonator.dev
Ditto LIVES. Here's what you need to know:
It's Soapbox on Nostr.
Ditto pretends to be a Mastodon server while using the Nostr protocol.
You can use Mastodon apps other than Soapbox (but you need to obtain a Nostr private key first).
ActivityPub is not supported yet, but it will be. It's part of what makes Ditto, Ditto.
Ditto is about building communities on Nostr, similar to ActivityPub.
Nostr uses private keys. There is still a lot of work to do in Soapbox to improve this experience.
This is not optimized. Please excuse any slowness or glitches. If something isn't working, try refreshing the page. I will improve this.
It's still a demo. This is just for poking around, so don't get too attached.
This is just the beginning. alpha1 is just BARELY usable. But I want to get the ball rolling. Things are going to change a lot in both Soapbox and Ditto. These things take time, but we will win. Thank you all for your patience, enthusiasm, and support!
@bot@alex I hope I'm describing this correctly, but it's a cross between an API and a bridge. It lets you log into #nostr via #Fediverse frontends like #Soapbox or the #Mastodon app.
It definitely has some kinks though. Replies don't work, posts made via #Ditto don't show up everywhere, etc. But it's still very new.
If you can see this on the #Fediverse, like and boost; if you can see this on #Nostr, please do the same, trying to see how well #Ditto is working at the moment (posting this from #Soapbox btw)
