Ditto.pub — The Nostr Web Client That Speaks Mastodon

Ditto is a self-hosted Nostr community platform by SoapBox that doubles as a full Nostr web client. It’s accessible at ditto.pub and offers one of the most polished web-native Nostr experiences available.

What makes Ditto unique is that it implements the Mastodon API, meaning you can log in and post to Nostr from any of the 50+ Mastodon apps. This bridges two decentralized worlds seamlessly.

Why It Matters for Nostr

Ditto bridges the Nostr protocol and the Mastodon/Fediverse ecosystem. Mastodon users can interact with Nostr content without even knowing what Nostr is. For existing Nostr users, Ditto offers a modern, fast, feature-rich web client that rivals native apps like Damus and Amethyst.

Its self-hosted nature means communities can run their own Ditto instance with their own relay, moderation policies, identity system, and branding — truly owning their corner of the social web.
