Caught the popping up on my Nostr feed this morning. It’s pretty cool seeing a major European institution getting their data into open protocols! 🇪🇺📡

A few interesting details under the hood for the those interested:
🔹 They aren't natively here yet. Their official account lives on a Mastodon server (the federated ActivityPub protocol), which is being mirrored over to our timeline via a mostr.pub bridge.
🔹 Because it’s just a passive data bridge, I hit a wall trying to send them a test zap—no Lightning address is configured. ⚡🛑

Honestly, it would be awesome to see the Commission step past passive bridging and go fully native with a real Nostr pubkey and a Lightning address. There are so many great, free options out there to plug value directly into communication.

—if your team needs a quick hand navigating the payment layer, my DMs are always open. Happy to help you wire up the value rails! 😉📈
