","content":"Welcome to a quick guide for readers who run into \u201cwait, why isn\u2019t this working?\u201d moments on Decent Newsroom. Below you\u2019ll find the most common issues and the fastest fixes.\n\n## What is Decent Newsroom?\n\nDecent Newsroom is a Nostr-based platform for discovering, curating, and publishing long-form content\u2014built around magazines and search.\n\nUnlike traditional platforms, Decent Newsroom doesn\u2019t \u201cown\u201d the content. Articles are Nostr events that can be published and mirrored across relays, while Decent Newsroom focuses on **making them readable, searchable, and easy to curate into magazines**.\n\n## How accounts work on Decent Newsroom\n### You don\u2019t make an account with email\nDecent Newsroom does **not** store emails\/passwords. Authentication is done via your **Nostr keys** (your npub identity).\n\n### How to sign in\nOn the site, you\u2019ll see login options like:\n\n- **Extension** (a Nostr browser extension)\n- **Signer** (a remote signer flow)\n\n\nIf you choose the remote signer option, you\u2019ll see a QR-based pairing flow.\nThe option to copy\/paste the connection into the signer isn\u0027t yet available, but it\u0027s in the works.\n\n\n## Getting around: where to find things\n\n### Newsstand (magazines)\n\n**Newsstand** is the magazine rack: curated publications you can browse like sections of a newspaper.\n\n### Explore (search)\n\n**Explore** is the long-form discovery feed + search entry point, with category filters (Lifestyle, Tech, etc.).\nYou can use tags or keywords in the search bar, as well as Nostr identifiers. If you search a npub, for example, you\u0027ll be redirected to their profile page.\n### Topics (tags you can browse)\n\n**Topics** is a structured way to explore tags by theme (e.g., \u201cBitcoin \u0026 Sound Money,\u201d \u201cArtificial Intelligence,\u201d etc.).\n\nIf you log in, Decent Newsroom looks for your interests event (kind `10015`) and lists those at the top.\n\n### Multimedia\n\n**Multimedia** is a serendipity-driven feed for media posts (images, video links, etc.). Each card is clickable and leads to the single post page.\n\n### Highlights\n\n**Highlights** surfaces noteworthy passages highlighted by the community. Decent Newsroom preferentially shows highlights of passages from Nostr-native articles.\n\n## Reading lists: your personal \u201ccuration building blocks\u201d\n\nDecent Newsroom lets you create and share **reading lists** (curated lists). You can browse them when logged in, and create new ones from the Reading Lists page.\nReading lists also plug into magazine creation: in the magazine setup wizard, you can attach an existing reading list as a category using its coordinate.\n\n## Why things sometimes look \u201cdelayed\u201d on Nostr\n\nNostr content is relay-based and decentralized. That means discovery is partly an **indexing problem**: content may exist on relays Decent Newsroom isn\u2019t currently crawling by default, or it may take time to be fetched and indexed.\nDecent Newsroom also aims to be **fast to read**. Practically, that means you may see a page load instantly using a recently cached version, while the server refreshes content behind the scenes and the next view is updated. (This avoids \u201cwaiting on relays\u201d during page load\u2014critical on decentralized networks.)\nNostr is the source of truth; DN is the \u2018print edition\u2019 web page that anyone can open and preview. Decent Newsroom deliberately turns Nostr articles into fast, stable web pages that work everywhere. When you share a DN link, it includes the preview information\u2014headline, cover image, and summary\u2014so the link \u201cunfurls\u201d properly in group chats, social feeds, and messaging apps.\nIf you\u2019re a creator and want Decent Newsroom to reliably fetch from *your declared relays*, **Active Indexing** exists specifically for that.\n\n## Troubleshooting FAQ\n\n### I can\u2019t sign in \/ the signer pairing is stuck\n\n- If using remote signer: close and reopen the pairing dialog.\n- If using an extension: check that the extension is installed and allowed on this site.\n\n\n### I can\u2019t sign an event I created\n\nWe have a known issue when a browser has multiple Nostr signers available. It might feel like a slotmachine, but try a couple of times anyway.\n\n### I can\u2019t find an article I know exists on Nostr\n\nMost often: it\u2019s on relays outside the default crawl set.\n\nThe shortest path to importing an article or looking up any other event is to paste the naddr or nevent address into the search field on the Explore page.\n\nWe also offer Active Indexing. If you\u0027re an author and would like to see your content show up regularly, that is the \u201cmake sure DN fetches my declared relays\u201d solution for publishers.\n\nAs a reader, try:\n\n- searching in **Explore**\n- browsing via **Topics**\n- checking the author\u2019s profile page and their Articles tab\n\n\n### I\u2019m seeing an older version of a page\n\nThis is usually the \u201cfast load first, refresh after\u201d behavior. Refresh the page once, or come back shortly\u2014DN prioritizes speed, then revalidates.\n\n### Media links don\u2019t load\n\nSome media is hosted externally and may depend on the original host being reachable. If a specific item is broken, send feedback with the link.\n\n\n## Need help?\n\nUse the **Send Feedback** page on Decent Newsroom for bug reports and feature requests.","image":"https:\/\/files.sovbit.host\/media\/d475ce4b3977507130f42c7f86346ef936800f3ae74d5ecf8089280cdc1923e9\/aa9c3080b51d1381fafb49c170e65d4022cc6c40102fec76bd9cced2c63b897c.webp","pubkey":"c89e5eb6d9ab087e36d122a1674167053179200226cbf082bca1c492e858ffac","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-02-12T14:45:21+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-02-12T14:45:21+00:00","topics":["decent newsroom","newsroom","dn","guide","readers"],"url":"https:\/\/chat.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/support-952317\/cat\/reading-838260\/d\/a-readers-guide-to-decent-newsroom-j1n5v0"}]},{"slug":"publishing-9c8a37","title":"Publishing","summary":"Write, edit, publish, and manage metadata, relays, and zaps.","image":null,"url":"https:\/\/chat.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/support-952317\/cat\/publishing-9c8a37","articleCount":2,"articles":[{"title":"Add article to magazine","slug":"add-article-to-magazine-i9552q","summary":"How to add an article to your magazine from the article page.","content":"When you want to add an article to your collection: a category in a magazine or a reading list, you can use the \u0027Add to reading list\u0027 shortcut.\n\n![Add to list](https:\/\/image.nostr.build\/ff2eaaf2f89fc03a994abeeb07a37952901a45c164ada6c66818ffdc3a16b44e.png)\nThe button will be visible on all article pages in Decent Newsroom after you log in.

","content":"This guide is for authors publishing long-form work on [Decent Newsroom](decentnewsroom.com). It covers: writing and formatting, setting the metadata that makes links share well, publishing to relays, updating posts, and the most common \u201cwhy isn\u2019t it showing up?\u201d issues.\n\n\n## What Decent Newsroom is (for writers)\n\nDecent Newsroom is a Nostr-based publishing and discovery layer for long-form content. You publish an article as a Nostr event; DN turns it into a fast, stable web page that can be searched, browsed, and curated into magazines. DN doesn\u2019t ask you to create an email\/password account\u2014authentication is done via your Nostr keys.\n\nA practical benefit for writers: when you share a DN article link, it \u201cunfurls\u201d properly in chats and social apps (headline + cover image + summary), like a normal web publication\u2014not a raw protocol object. \n\n\n## How \u201caccounts\u201d work on DN (Nostr signing, not passwords)\n\nDN does not store user emails\/passwords; you authenticate by signing with your Nostr identity.\n\nOn DN you\u2019ll typically see two login paths:\n\n### 1) Browser extension (window.nostr)\n\nUse a Nostr browser extension that can sign events for websites (the \u201cExtension\u201d option). DN will request signatures when you save\/publish.\n\n### 2) Remote signer (NIP-46 \u201cbunker signer\u201d)\n\nDN can pair with a NIP-46-compatible remote signer via QR code. After pairing, any page that uses `window.nostr` will use that remote signer session automatically. If pairing stalls, retry the login.\n\nConnection data is currently not available as a string you can copy into your signer. We\u0027re working on it. \n\n\n## Create a new article\n\nGo to the editor: [https:\/\/decentnewsroom.com\/article-editor\/create](https:\/\/decentnewsroom.com\/article-editor\/create). \n\nAt the top, DN offers multiple ways to write:\n\n- **Rich Text** (WYSIWYG)\n- **Markdown**\n- **JSON** (direct event editing\u2014advanced)\n- **Preview** \n\n\nYou\u2019ll also see **Save Draft** and **Publish** actions.\n\n### A simple \u201cfirst post\u201d workflow\n\n1. Write in **Rich Text** or **Markdown**.\n2. Fill in the fields in the **Details** panel (title, summary, tags, cover).\n3. Hit **Preview** to check layout.\n4. **Save Draft** or **Publish**.\n\nWhen saving a draft, you will remain in the editor after submission. When publishing, you will be redirected to the article page, if publishing succeeds, and you\u0027ll remain in the editor otherwise. \n\nThe editor doesn\u0027t currently have an auto-save function. It is on the feature wishlist, though.\n\n## The \u201cDetails\u201d panel: what makes your article shareable\n\nDN\u2019s \u201cDetails\u201d panel is where you set the metadata that turns your Nostr event into a proper publication page.\n\n### Title + Summary\n\n- **Title**: obvious.\n- **Summary**: DN explicitly labels this as \u201c*A short description shown in previews*\u201d \u2014 use this to give your readers a hint about what to expect in the article. This text will show up in article cards, where multiple articles are listed, and in rich previews when you share links.\n\n\n### Slug\n\nYou can set a custom **slug** (used in the DN web URL). Slugs are special in Nostr. Slug is used to populate the `d` tag in your event. Slugs are unique, per one of your articles. If you reuse one, you will effectively overwrite the previous article with the new one. This is effective for revisions, but be sure to clear the slug when publishing a new article. DN will autogenerate a slug from your title if you leave the field blank.\n\n### Tags\n\nAdd tags for discovery and topical browsing. Do not use the `#` signs; those are added for display by the clients and make matching equivalent tags harder.\n\n### Cover image\n\nDN supports uploading a cover image to a few preset providers. A cover image strongly improves link previews. \n\nIf you plan for it, you can use the same form to upload main body images. When you upload, the image URL will show up in the cover image input, and you can use it in the editor. \n\nResist the temptation to reuse the cover image in the body of the article again. Readers notice.\n\n\n## Publishing: where your article goes (relays)\n\nNostr content lives on relays. DN exposes a **Relays** tab in the editor to show your known relays. Content will be published to your chosen relays and to the internal relay `relay.decentnewsroom.com`. You will eventually be able to pick and choose your relays.\n\nEven when relays are correct, discovery can be \u201ceventually consistent\u201d (more on that below).\n\n\n## Advanced options writers should know (optional)\n\nThe editor\u2019s **Advanced** tab includes extra toggles\/features that affect distribution and reader experience. Currently, the space is reserved for setting up zap splits. \n\n### Zap splits\n\nDN includes a **Zap Splits** section (e.g., \u201cdistribute equally,\u201d add recipients\/weights). Use this when multiple contributors should share zaps tied to the article. When you configure zap splits, they override the author as the recipient, so don\u0027t forget to add yourself to the list if you want to be included.\n\nWhen zap splits are set on the article, the zap gets split into multiple invoices. The user sending the zaps can still pick and choose which invoices they pay.\n\n\n## Updating an article\n\nOn Nostr, long-form articles are *addressable* events (kind **30023** in NIP-23). In practice, that means \u201cediting\u201d means **publishing a new version** that clients treat as the latest for that address (slug).\n\nIn DN\u2019s UI: when you\u2019re logged in, DN loads your known articles into the sidebar tab, and you can open one for editing with one click. Once opened, you update content\/metadata and publish again.\n\n\n## Why DN pages are fast (and why you might occasionally see older content)\n\nNostr is decentralized and relay-based, so a \u201cfresh read\u201d can require network calls to multiple relays. DN prioritizes fast page loads: it may show a recently cached version, refresh in the background, and then the next view is updated. \n\nFor writers, this matters in two places:\n\n- Right after you publish, DN\u2019s web page might need a refresh or a few minutes to show the newest version.\n- Search\/discovery may lag because indexing depends on relay fetch + processing.\n\n\n\n## Getting found on DN (Active Indexing)\n\nIf you want DN to reliably fetch your long-form content from the relays you declare, DN offers **Active Indexing**. It\u2019s explicitly described as: \u201cmakes sure Decent Newsroom fetches your long-form content from the relays you declare,\u201d including \u201cbypass quality gates\u201d and \u201ccustom relay list configuration.\u201d\n\n\n## Sharing your work: DN link vs Nostr address\n\nOn DN article pages, the Share section offers both a **Newsroom Link** and **Naddr**. Use:\n\n- **Newsroom Link** when you want maximum compatibility (anyone can open it, rich previews work).\n- **Naddr** when sharing inside Nostr-native contexts. \n\n\n\n## Troubleshooting FAQ (writer-focused)\n\n### \u201cI can\u2019t sign in \/ the signer pairing is stuck\u201d\n\n- If using remote signer: close and reopen the pairing dialog (DN generates a new ephemeral key). \n- If using an extension: confirm the extension is installed and permitted on the site.\n- If nothing helps, let us know so we can fix it. Nost has an abundance of signers, and we haven\u0027t been able to test them all. \n\n### \u201cPublish clicked, but nothing happens \/ signing fails\u201d\n\nWe\u0027ve observed an issue when a browser has multiple signers available; retrying can help.\n\n### \u201cMy article exists on Nostr but DN can\u2019t find it\u201d\n\nMost commonly: it\u2019s on relays outside DN\u2019s default crawl set. The shortest import path is pasting an **naddr**\/**nevent** into DN\u2019s Explore search. Active Indexing is the \u201cmake sure DN fetches my declared relays\u201d solution.\n\n### \u201cI\u2019m seeing an older version of my page\u201d\n\nRefresh once, or revisit shortly\u2014DN prioritizes speed, then revalidates. \n\n\n## Need help?\n\nUse DN\u2019s **Send Feedback** link for bug reports and support. \n","image":"https:\/\/files.sovbit.host\/media\/d475ce4b3977507130f42c7f86346ef936800f3ae74d5ecf8089280cdc1923e9\/9c8fdb00d8bc0bfbc15e5e6cd8dee51768f30b2f59a84ba2fe20862ac58c5462.webp","pubkey":"c89e5eb6d9ab087e36d122a1674167053179200226cbf082bca1c492e858ffac","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-02-12T15:33:01+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-02-12T15:33:01+00:00","topics":["decent newsroom","newsroom","dn","guide","writers"],"url":"https:\/\/chat.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/support-952317\/cat\/publishing-9c8a37\/d\/a-writers-guide-to-decent-newsroom-cthg0r"}]},{"slug":"general-0c2cb1","title":"General","summary":"Identity, Nostr, and how DN works.","image":null,"url":"https:\/\/chat.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/support-952317\/cat\/general-0c2cb1","articleCount":3,"articles":[{"title":"What are Vanity Names?","slug":"what-are-vanity-names-bnzmq9","summary":"What are Vanity Names and how to get one.","content":"Vanity Names are unique identifiers within Decent Newsroom.

Add your relay list, and DN will actively look for your long-form posts on those relays and include them in the index.

Those require that you sign the events, but you are not required to log in.\n- Logging in means **signing an ephemereal event** with your Nostr identity (npub), using either:\n\n\n- a **browser extension signer**, or\n- a **remote signer** (often called a \u201cbunker\u201d).\n\n\n## What is a \u201cDN account\u201d, really?\n\nYour \u201caccount\u201d on DN is your **Nostr public key** (**npub**).\nDN treats that npub as your identity for:\n\n- attributing your content\n- loading your drafts\/known articles for editing\n- showing your interests at the top of the Topics page\n- linking subscriptions\/paid features (if any)\n- personal features like lists and curation\n\nDN does **not** need your email and does not run a password database.\n\n### npub vs nsec (important)\n\n- **npub** = public identifier (safe to share)\n- **nsec** = private key (never share, never paste into websites)\n\n\nDN should only ever see **signatures**, not your private key.\n\n\n## How publishing works (what DN asks your signer to do)\n\nWhen DN needs to prove \u201cthis action is from you\u201d, it requests a cryptographic signature from your signer.\n\nTypical signature moments:\n\n- publishing an article\n- updating an existing article\n- creating or editing lists \/ magazine structures\n- commenting\n\n\nDN submits the signed event to relays (depending on your relay configuration and the feature).\n\n\n## Ways to sign in\n\n### 1) Browser extension signer (recommended for most users)\n\nYou install a Nostr extension in your browser. DN requests signatures through it when needed.\n\n**Pros**\n\n- simplest UX\n- quick approvals\n\n\n**Common issue**\n\n- multiple signers installed \u2192 the browser may route requests unpredictably.\n\n\n### 2) Remote signer (NIP-46 \/ \u201cbunker\u201d)\n\nInstead of a local extension, you pair DN to a remote signer (often on your phone or a dedicated signing service). DN then asks that signer to approve signatures.\n\n**Pros**\n\n- your keys don\u2019t live in the browser\n- works well across devices\n\n\n**Common issue**\n\n- pairing can stall; re-open the pairing dialog to retry.\n\n\n## Switching accounts \/ using multiple identities\n\nIf you have more than one Nostr identity:\n\n- your **current signer** determines which npub DN is using.\n- if something \u201cdoesn\u2019t show up\u201d (articles, subscriptions, lists), the first thing to check is: **am I logged in as the same npub that created\/purchased it?**\n\n\nCurrently logged in user is listed in the menu (left sidebar).\n\nPractical tip: keep a note of which npub you use for \u201cpublishing\u201d vs \u201cpersonal browsing\u201d.\n\n\n## Privacy and safety (plain language)\n\n- DN can see your **npub** and the content\/events you choose to publish or interact with.\n- DN should **not** need your private key.\n- Treat signing prompts like permission prompts: if something looks unexpected, **reject** and investigate.\n\n\n## Troubleshooting sign-in and signing\n\n### \u201cI can\u2019t log in\u201d\n\n- Ensure your signer is installed \/ reachable.\n- If you use a remote signer: re-open pairing and try again.\n\n\n### \u201cPublish clicked, nothing happened\u201d\n\n- Look for a signer approval prompt (extension pop-up or remote signer request).\n- If you have multiple signers installed, disable one temporarily and retry.\n\n\n### My article was published only to some relays\n\nRelay communications can be interrupted. You\u0027ll be able to broadcast your event from the article page, pushing the same version to the relays. There\u0027s no need to republish.\n\n### \u201cI\u2019m logged in, but my articles aren\u2019t in the sidebar\u201d\n\n- The DN crawler has not yet found your articles. They will show up eventually.\n- You may be on a different npub than the one that authored them. In that case, log in with the other npub and reload the editor.","image":"https:\/\/files.sovbit.host\/media\/d475ce4b3977507130f42c7f86346ef936800f3ae74d5ecf8089280cdc1923e9\/4f3d85525dfaedfb74dadc72a276af2f933904b5b36ef3ea29be34ad818900d8.webp","pubkey":"c89e5eb6d9ab087e36d122a1674167053179200226cbf082bca1c492e858ffac","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-02-12T14:38:03+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-02-12T14:38:03+00:00","topics":["decent newsroom","newsroom","dn","guide","writers"],"url":"https:\/\/chat.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/support-952317\/cat\/general-0c2cb1\/d\/accounts-on-decent-newsroom-4nck58"}]}],"chapters":[],"stats":{"totalCategories":3,"totalArticles":6,"totalChapters":0}}
