🤖 Try AI-first development with Stacks!
Stacks is a decentralized template-sharing platform built on #Nostr, designed specifically to jumpstart #AI development.
- Publish AI-first project templates (called "stacks")
- Quickly bootstrap working apps from these templates
- Deploy functional applications in minutes
Stacks are shared via Nostr events, meaning they’re portable, censorship-resistant, and social. A stack can be anything from a simple website template to an AI chat app, or even a Game Boy ROM!

NEW! We've added search filters on #Ditto to help you find the type of content you want to see.
Filters include: videos (#tiktok), media (#instagram), protocol (#Nostr or search over the @nprofile…ua8t bridge to the #Fediverse, #Mastoson, and #Bluesky), language, and domain. You can also combine multiple filters to find, for example, videos only from Nostr.
Experiment with these filters on Ditto today by typing them into the search bar. We plan to expand the UI to make this experience seamless in the future.
Here's the full filter breakdown:
protocol:<nostr|bluesky|activitypub>
media:<true|false>
video:<true|false>
reply:<true|false>
language:<code>
domain:<domain>

Ditto analyzes the events in your database and generates trends. It tracks trending hashtags, users, and posts to improve discoverability.
Since the data is public, any client can utilize it. For example, Coracle custom feeds have already been implemented using Ditto trends!

Thanks to the account portability and censorship-resistant design of Nostr, communities can choose what kind of content they want to engage with, without limiting the freedom of anyone else. Each Ditto server can have a group of moderators and admins who manage the server. They can view reports, delete posts, and approve or reject users.

Ditto implements the full Mastodon API which allows interoperability for any Mastodon client (like Tusky, for example), and we're continuing to improve the @npub1d03…pzfs for communication across protocols. However, we've moved away from implementing direct ActivityPub support. We made this pivot so users of Ditto don't have to take on the burden of the clunky and insecure ActivityPub protocol when we realized that thanks to the bridge it wasn't necessary for cross-protocol communication.
Ditto is really about taking the good ideas from Mastodon and bringing them to Nostr. Most importantly, community servers.

Hello world, meet Ditto!
Ditto is a self-hosted server featuring a community-centered Nostr relay with a built-in UI.
Each Ditto server hosts it's own community of users, tied together by common identity but free to take their keys and leave at any time.
Ditto offers robust moderation tools at both the server and user level so that both communities and the individuals within them can craft their ideal experience on Nostr.
Ditto is still active development, but you can try out the basics today on gleasonator.dev or learn more about Ditto here:
