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.
2023-03-25 14:58:31 +00:00
The repost event MUST include an `e` tag with the `id` of the note that is
2023-03-29 21:45:12 +00:00
being reposted. That tag MUST include a relay URL as its third entry
2023-03-25 14:58:31 +00:00
to indicate where it can be fetched.
The repost SHOULD include a `p` tag with the `pubkey` of the event being
reposted.

## Quote Reposts
2023-06-16 21:16:42 +00:00
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.
