Our goal with account creation on Ditto is that you don't need to understand what is happening with keys to join! The goal is just to get them signed up. Once they are here, they can learn about their keys.
Rather than telling them upfront they need to learn something new in order to join (a barrier), my theory is it's better to be welcoming new accounts and helping them get familiar with these concepts after they are already here. And I think best way for new users to discover the power of their keys is by logging into a different Nostr app. That's why we made a point to highlight the variety of other apps first.
I definitely agree we need to do a better job explaining this to a user once they are here! Maybe we can put a dismissable widget in the sidebar (or someplace with good visibility on mobile) with Nostr 101 resources. 👀

There isn't really a good bunker app yet. You could use NSEC bunker (custodial, you have to share your private keys with them), Amber (never worked for me), or nak. Nak is the only thing that works, but it's confusing if you're not like really into this stuff, and you have to keep it running in a terminal in the background to sign events. This a major area for improvement in the Nostr ecosystem:

Ditto is on Nostr but federates to the Fediverse via @npub1d03…pzfs, and also implements Mastodon API for app compatibility.

Under the hood, it's the same as Nostr with some Mastodon-flavored bells and whistles. You own your keys, etc.

(You don't need to explain everything about decentralizion, censorship resistance, etc. You just need to get them to open their phone and try it. People are the main reason other people join social media. If they have a connection you, that's your in. Once they have their account, they can learn the details later.)

We don't, but since it's an open network where all content is public anyway, there's limited safety/privacy concerns with infiltration like other women-only spaces. Ultimately if they are behaving in a woman-friendly way and not causing problems, they can probably get away with it. That's the trade-off of being more open and protecting user privacy.
If it becomes a problem we may have to be stricter with pre-vetting prior to NIP-05 approval, but for now this is the policy:

It takes a while for the database to populate with all the info. Given time as more events are sent your relay it will naturally populate. However if you want to force it, you can use nak. @npub1nha…mujl just wrote a script to populate accounts based on a person's following list for example

Why would people in Texas want to start a local group of Texas Bitcoiners? Because they have shared interests and want to find like-minded people to connect and build community. Same thing here.
And, of course, Henhouse is NOT segregated from the rest of Nostr! (or else how would I be replying to you? 😀 ) I encourage you to read the rest of the post to learn how it works. It provides an *additional* subcommunity to find other women, not limiting users to only interacting with other women.
Thanks for asking! I'm sure many people will have similar questions.

3. Global feed (literally everything)

I am very excited to finally announce the opening of Henhouse - the first women-only community on Nostr!
Henhouse is built on @npub10qd…arpj, and allows users to enjoy all the freedom of Nostr and the benefits of a decentralized and censorship-resistant platform while connecting in a space made just for us.
After running Spinster, the largest women’s server on the Fediverse, for 5 years — I have learned a lot from the mistakes of that platform. Nostr provides solutions, and I believe it is the future of decentralized social media.

You need to put in a URL generated by a Nostr bunker. For example, NSECBunker or Amber (android), but the only one that I could get to work was nak. This is a terminal tool you run in the background to sign events:

(ps. I just learned that this happens bc the new instance doesn't have your follow list yet, so when you sign an new follower event from it, it pushes over your existing following list. To avoid in the future, subscribe to a relay and then push a follow event from another client on that relay that has your existing list to get it to populate to the new server database. Kind of annoying for sure, and a common problem across clients) 😬

The powerful thing about @npub10qd…arpj is that it allows people to build communities on #Nostr (as moderated or limited as they desire) without impinging on anyone else’s freedom.
After running a Fedivese server with 20,000+ accounts for 5 years, I’ve learned how important this is. Many people want communities catered to their desired vibe. As an admin, you have the responsibility to both nurture the vibe of the group, and protect individual users’ freedom. This is often in conflict.
But thanks to the account portability of Nostr, a user can be removed from a #Ditto server yet, unlike on the Fediverse, they don’t lose access to their account, their data doesn’t disappear, and they aren’t censored from the whole network. That user is just excluded from *your* domain.

On web, at least, when the OAuth screen pops up where you'd normally put in your password, on Ditto you'd see a request to sign in with a Nostr bunker instead (which is what you could use nak for). But I have no idea how this translates on emacs 😬
Lmk if you manage to make it work! That would be really cool!

(That being said we haven't tested Mona! But I know it works on the official Mastodon iOS app)

You can use any bunker in theory. Amber for android is another one, if you're doing stuff on your phone, but that's never worked for me personally. So far the only reliable bunker tool is nak:

(We're going to release more info Ditto/Mastodon API compatibility later this week that I think you'll be into!)

I highly recommend anyone who may ever want a ditto NIP-05 go ahead and reserve their username now before it gets snatched! You can reserve it even if you have an existing NIP-05 already.

Ohh I'll test it!

It's a publishing, scheduling, and analytics platform (similar to Hootsuite) that has support for Mastodon API - and therefore now Nostr, thanks to @npub10qd…arpj

We're testing Mastodon API compatibility on @npub10qd…arpj - these are all apps originally built for the Fediverse that Ditto will unlock!
