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.

    Thank you so much. The way I see it, it’s more like twitter than an actual forum. Thus not really viable for long form communication.
