Reposts
draft optional
A repost is a kind 6 event that is used to signal to followers
that a kind 1 text note is worth reading.
For security reasons, The content of a repost event MUST not be set the stringified JSON of the reposted note. It SHOULD always be empty.
The repost event MUST include an e tag with the id of the note that is
being reposted. That tag MUST include a relay URL as its third entry
to indicate where it can be fetched.
The repost SHOULD include a p tag with the pubkey of the event being
reposted.
Quote Reposts
Quote reposts are kind 1 events with an embedded q tag of the note being
quote reposted. The q tag ensures quote reposts are not pulled and included
as replies in threads. It also allows you to easily pull and count all of the
quotes for a post.
Generic Reposts
Since kind 6 reposts are reserved for kind 1 contents, we use kind 16
as a "generic repost", that can include any kind of event inside other than
kind 1.
kind 16 reposts SHOULD contain a k tag with the stringified kind number
of the reposted event as its value.
