NIP-18 ====== 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. The `content` of a repost event is _the stringified JSON of the reposted note_. It MAY also be empty, but that is not recommended. 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 `e` tag (see [NIP-08](08.md) and [NIP-27](27.md)). Because a quote repost includes an `e` tag, it may show up along replies to the reposted note. ## 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.
