Nostria Update November 2025

A lot of new features has been added to Nostria since the previous update. We can’t possibly go through everything here, but we’ll do our best to showcase some of the great new features.

Mission Statement:

Nostria puts control back where it belongs: with you. Build your social network the way you want, keep your profile and data under your control, and share and explore a decentralized space that resists censorship while being quick to join and friendly to use.

Official Launch:

At the end of August 2025, we finalized our MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and delivered on the promises made to our early investors. While this release (1.0) was a good release, there was additional features and improvements in quality and performance that was needed before a more general public release. Yesterday we release 1.1, which has the features, quality and performance to reach a broader adoption.

Availability:

App available in web browser, web app for any device, installable on Windows, installable on Android (closed testing) and iOS coming soon.

Website:

Our website have received an overhaul, with improved visuals, texts, screenshots and more. Performance rating is 97 on Lighthouse (Web Browser performance test). https://www.nostria.app/

Features:

Without going into details for all these new features, we will list some of them:Quick Account Creation for new accounts

  • Multiple Account Management
  • Feeds: Nostria comes with 3 default feeds: For You, Following and Discover. You can modify each of them, and add new ones. Each feed, can have multiple columns that you can configure to show different content.
  • Nostr Wallet Connect for sending Zaps
  • Account Export using QR codes - Quickly move your account between devices.
  • Invitation - You can generate a special invitation URL for your friends, which introduces them to Nostria and helps them automatically follow you as their first friend.
  • Badges: Nostria will display your top 3 badges on your profile, and list all of them in a different page. Nostria also has a full fledged badges editor, allowing you to make your own badges that you can issue to your friends and strangers.
  • Proof-of-work: You can now enable PoW for all your posts, this helps fight spam and it gives your posts more credibility.
  • Bookmarks: You can bookmark any event you come across to more easily find them again later.
  • Media: The media library allow you to easily mirror your photos, videos and files across media servers. Nostria will automatically setup media server for new users.
  • Messages: Nostria has excellent support for direct messages, using the latest Nostr protcol.
  • People: This is a great way to get an overview of whom you follow. It has some new filtering features, and there is a dedicated “Find People” section that helps you discover new profiles to follow.
  • Articles: Nostria have an excellent articles editor, which is used to write this article right now.
  • Lists: Nostria has a full fledged general lists editor for all your Nostr lists.
  • Polls: In development, but the ability to create polls and later share them in events is being worked on right now.
  • Playlists: You can edit your own playlists, with links to music, videos and more. You can enjoy these directly inside Nostria with the embedded media player.
  • Notes: There is a “mini app” for saving post-it like notes. We hope you’ll find some of these features enjoyable to use. Please leave us feedback anywhere possible.

Push Notifications:

It’s possible to enable push notifications from the notification settings. This is currently an opt-in feature and we don’t push on the user to enable it. Currently the only event it will push, is when someone is following you.

Content Notifications:

Within the app itself, you have all kinds of notifications show, such as likes, replies, reposts, zaps and more.

Nostria Status:

The status of our infrastructure can be verified on a dedicated website: https://status.nostria.app/

Infrastructure:

We utilize Infrastructure-as-code to deploy our entire infrastructure globally. Can easily expand to new regions, running test deployment in Europe and Africa. Currently deployed in South Africa, Europe and USA. As user adoption of Nostria increases, we will deploy to more regions. Hosting infrastructure comes at a cost, so it’s important for us to get more Premium subscribers.

Discovery Relays

We host Discovery Relays in all the deployed regions. Additionally we have setup two-sync of events with Purple Pages and Coracle Indexer Relay. These type of relays help work as “DNS for Nostr”, enabling global resolution for “everyone”.
