Ditto v1.3: Explore Tab, Search Filter UI & More

• Ditto v1.3 is now available. It comes with improved search and event fetching via a new Explore tab, video enhancements, translation upgrades, basic custom emoji support, improved translations and key admin tools, and more.

"Ditto 1.3 is all about discovery. From improved search and event fetching to a brand-new Explore tab, this release makes it easier than ever to find people, posts, and conversations across the Nostr network. We've also rolled out streaks, media improvements, translation upgrades, and key admin tools," announced the project.

• Upcoming updates for the project include support for Cashu Nutzaps, user wallet configuration panel, and zap slits for posts with an intuitive UI. Ditto instance administrators will receive a brand-new dashboard with NIP-05 management tools, improved stats, and more customization options such as global language filters, improved admin notifications, UI for managing suggested accounts, and paid NIP-05s via Cashu.

"We're also revamping the onboarding flow to help new users get connected faster. Community-specific prompts, default relay suggestions, wallet setup, and a local timeline for users without follows will make getting started smoother. Plus, a new “Follow All” option makes it easy to connect with your community from day one. Thank you to our awesome team, and to OpenSats for their continued support!" the project said in a blog post.
