NIP-18 defines how to repost events, similar to retweets on other platforms.

Structure

A repost is a kind 6 event (for kind 1 notes) or kind 16 (generic repost) containing:

  • e tag referencing the reposted event
  • p tag referencing the original author
  • Optionally, the full original event in the content field

Recent Changes

Improved support for reposting replaceable events with a tag support. This allows reposts of addressable events (kinds 30000-39999) to reference them by their address rather than a specific event ID.
