I randomly came across Nostr along with Tildes and Lemmy in my early hunt for THE reddit alternative to make a home. While I decided to make a home in lemmy, on the basis that its interface and structure isn’t that much different from reddit and apollo, curiosity keeps gnawing at me. And I just have to ask.
What exactly is Nostr and how is it different from the Fediverse? What are the pros and cons of each?
And if somehow both platforms mature to the point of mainstream, is an eventual bridge between them feasible? Something like what this site is attempting to do?

Sorry of this question is somewhat loaded. I just don’t see much discussion on this anywhere else. Or maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.
in nostr, every other post is, by law, about crypto shit.
Haven’t tried it yet but wouldn’t you say this would even out with more members coming in? Or is it the nature of the platform that encourages crypto?
You’re right. I’m not 100% sure, but I think there’s like a wallet or some crypto payment thing built-in, but even with that, maybe normal people like us could use it. Crypto-bros might just be interested in decentralized stuff, which is good.

In Amethyst Client I blocked the words BTC and BITCOIN and never heard of it again
