NIP-51

Lists

draft optional author:fiatjaf author:arcbtc author:monlovesmango author:eskema author:gzuuus

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 (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

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 communities the user belongs to	`"a"` (kind:34550 community definitions)
Relay sets	30002	(user-defined)	user-defined relay groups the user can easily pick and choose from during variadic operations	`"relay"` (relay URLs)
