This NIP defines lists of things that users can create. Lists can contain references to anything, and these references can be **public** or **private**.
Public items in a list are specified in the event `tags` array, while private items are specified in a JSON array that mimics the structure of the event `tags` array, but stringified and encrypted using the same scheme from [NIP-04](04.md) (the shared key is computed using the author's public and private key) and stored in the `.content`.
## Generic lists
The kinds `30000` and `30001` have been reserved for generic lists. These must be accompanied by a `d` tag identifying the list, but these are generally client-specific, except in the standard cases specified below.

### Standard lists
2023-11-15 05:33:26 -05:00
These are some standards that emerged in the wild:
| name | kind | "d" tag | description | expected tag items |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mute list | 30000 | `"mute"` | things the user doesn't want to see in their feeds | `"p"` (pubkeys), `"t"` (hashtags) |
| Bookmarks list | 30001 | `"bookmark"` | things the user intends to save for the future | `"e"` (kind:1 notes), `"a"` (kind:30023 articles) |
| Pin list | 30001 | `"pin"` | events the user intends to showcase in their profile page | `"e"` (kind:1 notes) |
| Communities list | 30001 | `"communities"` | [NIP-72](72.md) communities the user belongs to | `"a"` (kind:34550 community definitions) |
## Sets
Sets are lists with well-defined meaning and purpose and user-assigned `d` tags meant to be displayed in the UI. For example, _relay sets_ can be displayed in a dropdown UI to give users the option to switch to which relays they will publish an event or from which relays they will read the replies to an event; or _curation sets_ can be used by apps to showcase curations made by others tagged to different topics.
Aside from their main identifier, the `"d"` tag, sets can optionally have a `"title"`, an `"image"` and a `"description"` tag that can be used to enhance their UI.
| name | kind | description | expected tag items |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Relay sets | 30002 | user-defined relay groups the user can easily pick and choose from during variadic operations | `"relay"` (relay URLs) |
| Article Curation sets | 30003 | groups of articles picked by users as interesting and/or belonging to the same category | `"a"` (kind:30023 articles) |
