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.
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 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.
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.
