Community

The Starmark community lives on Nostr — an open protocol where your account is a cryptographic key, not an account number on someone else's server. There is no invite link to revoke, no admin who can lose the community, and no company whose mood swings can erase five years of conversation. That is the whole idea of Starmark, so it's only fair we start with our own gathering place.

Find us

We publish under a single official identity, an npub — a public address you can follow from any Nostr client. It is the only Starmark identity you should trust; anyone posting under a similar name is not us. Verify the address below against this page (starmark.app/community.html) and against @StarmarkApp — the two point at each other.

Getting started

A Nostr account is a keypair. You need one app (a "client"), and you're in — no email, no phone number, no password resets. Pick your device:

• iPhone: Damus — the most polished Nostr app; it creates your account in one tap.
• Android: Amethyst — free, and the closest experience to classic chat rooms with channels and groups.
• Computer: snort.social — open source, runs in the browser, account created on the spot.
• Simplest of all: nsec.app — the key lives in your device's passkey vault, so Face ID or fingerprint signs instead of you guarding a secret string.

Then three steps:

1. Create your account in the app of your choice.
2. Back up your private key (shown as nsec… on some clients). Write it down somewhere offline — it is your account. Anyone who sees it can be you; no support desk can ever recover it for you.
3. Share your public key (the npub…) with friends, and follow ours once it's posted above. Following is how communities work here: you subscribe to identities, not to buildings.

How conversations work

Nostr has no rooms to join. You follow an identity — ours, above — and see everything it posts and replies to, and group conversation happens in the open, as threaded replies, or through your client's private-message and group features. It feels looser than a Discord server for about a day, and then you notice nobody can shut it down, censor a thread, or lock the doors — and your friendships traveled with you the whole time.

Where this is going

Nostr is the waiting room, not the mansion. When Starmark launches, communities move onto the protocol itself: names that can't be confiscated, content that pays its creators directly, moderation by rules you can read, and identity that survives any single app's death. We're rehearsing that future one migration at a time.
