In the medium term, can we expect a migration path from rebased to ditto?

@sj_zeroPotentially yes, see: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto/-/merge_requests/45/diffs

It might be easier to do this on a per-user rather than per-server basis. I'm thinking of supporting both ways.

Is Rebased being deprecated once Ditto manages to get the ActivityPub stuff operational?
@Salastil @sj_zeroRebased will exist as long as it needs to to support the existing communities, but I think it kind of deprecated itself when Pleroma started puking out security vulnerabilities twice per week.
Can you use the key extensions so you can’t steal my nsec?
Do you have an opinion on nos2x vs alby, or something else entirely?
@botI use Alby, never tried nos2x. I think I may build a custom extension or remote signer app at some point.
@matty whatever you're replying to didnt federate here, weird
Its a post from over the Mostr bridge of Alex announcing Ditto rc1 on his Nostr account
@Salastil @matty it literally just federated here, 23 minutes late
Still hasn't for me, even when I try force it. Very strange, usually his stuff is instant for me.

>tfw NCD is the only vegan friendly instance

bros...

i didn't even realize this was alex until you said something

>only identifies people from pfp because retarded

alex needs to go back to his beard

I couldn't wait for Revolver any longer.
@polariseraIf you managed to find /login, you're in the wrong place. Enter a username and sign up
Eh, how do you import existing Nostr keys?
@Salastil @polariseraIf you have a NIP-07 extension like Alby, logout then click the "Log in" button to login with the extension. There's no other way yet.
Well, my CPU is getting murdered. One moment.
@animeirlsnapd and ipfs are pushing it to 100%. Maybe IPFS is bad after all.
And we're back. This is a fun lesson. And chaos.
Jesus, did that much really happen in the span of like an hour?
Love the blue theme
Is the username you enter on the home page supposed to be your private key?
Only saw a public key during the sign-up process
@LarsThe username is a username. For now it generates a random private key for you unless you use a NIP-07 browser extension
@Lars
Doesn’t seem to work at all. Oh well.
Is it possible to log in with a private key right now? It only asks nos2x for the public key, and if I don’t use an extension, it looks like it generates a new keypair, but still only logs in with the public key?
@2b94ae8f6f7fd268f1ed57fb6bd2b36146575f2a0fae2fca04363f58d4c1d061nos2x has a signEvent() function, so it doesn't need to give anything your private key. That's the point of it.
how does it protect your private key right now?

@MoonYou have options. The main way to use Ditto seriously is with a browser extension like Alby or nos2x. This will expose only a `signEvent` function to Ditto, and the extension will prompt you when it wants to sign something.

If you don't have a browser extension, it generates a key for you on pageload, and then as I discovered last night reloading the page makes you lose it and it seems to stop working.

So for now this is basically a nostr client? Also any plans to get the 'edit profile' thing working, it seems to be just timing out after 60 seconds?

@shitpisscumYep. In theory it will work with Pleroma FE. And yeah, it's broken rn. Check back in like a week and all that will be fixed.
