Lemmy comes second to Reddit with userbase and have better third party clients. I would stick with Monero.town
Bastyon already has ~1 million users and it is not a replacement for lemmy, it is more of a twitter style social media platform with video.
Why Bastyon over Mastodon or nostr?
Bastyon has monetization built in.
It has video hosting capability.
Content moderation performed by users not node owners, clear rules defined node operators cannot arbitrarily ban users.
Encrypted private chat.
Not many BTC maxi’s, much more users.
Easy to use apps available and usable in browser.
Not reliant on DNS
A lot of these pros are either not actually needed, or already in Lemmy. I don't see a problem with making a Monero community on Bastyon, but for me, the fact I can see what the Monero community is up to from Lemmy.ml or Mastodon is all I need (and something Bastyon does not provide)
y wouldnt we just use nostr?
Do you know a way for me to use NOSTR without using a lightning wallet for verification?

If you want a more decentralized system + with strong privacy and anonymity, we should use nostr communities instead where anyone can create throaway npubs and you can access it from any nostr website, not being stuck to a single domain:
Maybe something like Stacker News but with nostr and piconeros. I'm ok of the freedom of speech aspect of nostr but the Bitcoin Maxi gatekeeping turns me off. Can we fork or clone from SN?
problems:
-
inherits full graph anal from BTC: but instead of money your complete private life is profiled
-
dev tax of 5% (concealed in docs): this is a scam if the token rises in value
