A repost is a kind 6 note that is used to signal to followers that another event is worth reading.

The content of a repost event the stringified JSON of the reposted note for quick look up. 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 and NIP-27). Because a quote repost includes an e tag, it may show up along replies to the reposted note.
