@3baabe4d008648b5438bfe3180e3d443cbc36478fbabb65007099a96a1c56922 I started on that here: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/nostrverse

I’m trying to change Soapbox minimally so it stays compatible with Mastodon and Rebased. But the main problem is signing events. Submitting a status isn’t the same as submitting an event. So what we can do is send the private key to the server (that’s how this demo works), but that isn’t a great solution. Another idea I had was to have the server send websocket “signature request” events to the client, then the client only has to implement event signing in one place. This is probably the cleanest solution, but clients will have to update to support it.

As far as deduplication with the bridge, there’s already an issue to “opt out” of the bridge: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/mostr/-/issues/26 Once implemented, hybrid AP/Nostr accounts should just opt-out.

I’m less interested in building a hybrid backend than I am making Soapbox work with Nostr, tho.
