Fyi, you don't have outbox relays setup. It's all inbox. Apps are having a hard time finding your posts.

I just got a PR that allows users to follow the entire follow list of another person (likely the friend that onboarded them) after the key creation. Do you think people want that?

Hey @nprofile…am06 @nprofile…rj0e, there is a bug on relay.fountain.fm where the relay returns 500-1000 random events every time the filter has a `q` tag, like this.
["REQ","test", { "kinds":[1], "#q":["123412341234"] } ]
We do this all the time when searching for quotes of the events the user is seeing at the moment. Which means, as the user scrolls, a new note shows up, fountain gets a query and returns 500 unrelated events. Huge data usage for nothing.

Not particularly. But relays have been disappearing lately. Especially the free ones.

Na real, minto, tem vários clients que são melhores. A ZapStore é um deles, por exemplo. Outro é o Amber. Fountain funciona bem.
Acho que o Jumble não deveria implementar DMs. Fica tudo mais complicado. O startup da Amethyst é mais lento que o jumble so pq temos que carregar as DMs e reinfexalas para garantir que não estamos perdendo mensagens...

Poise é, sempre foi. Eu achei que a Amethyst ia morrer em menos de 1 ano. Era pra ser um projeto rápido só para pegar usuários, fazer uma grande orgia, e passar adiante para clientes especializados que, na minha visão inocente não teriam como ser piores que a orgia da Amethyst. Eu sempre achei que clientes especializados, exatamente porque podem focar em um nicho de usuário, facilmente fariam algo 10x melhor do que o que temos na Amethyst.
Mas nunca aconteceu...

Tranquilo... Cada um escolhe o que quiser... o que eu vejo é que tem mais gente voltando do que ficando em outros.. e isso é uma pena.

Poise, e esses usuários estão tentando outros, inclusive o jumble, e continuam voltando para o Amethyst. Eu mesmo faço propaganda dos outros clientes o tempo todo no meu feed. Mas nem assim...
Temos muitos problemas a resolver ainda na Amethyst, mas nada funciona tao bem quando essa app.

2026-03-09 02:05:14 UTC

Eu não disse que clientes pequenos não ajudam no ecosisrema. Muito pelo contrário... Nada contra clientes pequenos e especializados.. só precisamos de muito mais do que cópias de twitter para fazer com que o nostr seja relevante.

Nenhum cliente é melhor que o Amethyst. Não existe nem segundo lugar hoje em dia, infelizmente.

2026-03-09 00:25:22 UTC

- reply

Um dos objetivos do Amethyst sempre foi implementar tudo para que os outras partes do Nostr também ganhem usuários. O problema de clientes específicos e pequenos é não não ajudam a desenvolver o ecossistema pq só se preocupam com os event kinds mais populares. Comportamento de manada.
Não estamos aqui só para ser um clone de twitter. Queremos um ecossistema gigantesco de informações via relays. O Amethyst é o que faz a ponte entre o Twitter e todos os outros usos do Nostr.
Por isso é importante que tudo esteja ativo, para que usuários tenham exposição ao resto do protocolo.

Interesting.. so it is definitely a bug.. I will hunt it down

2026-03-08 21:46:22 UTC

Ohh are you talking about the spammers? Those are not the ones you block, but the ones the app puts in quarantine for spamming you too much. The list is cleared after the time passes.
The ones you block are in the first list. You can always block directly those in the spam as well, then they won't come back.

2026-03-08 20:33:03 UTC

- reply

Do they come back if you force stop the app? Or are they there after the app is stopped and restarted?

I don't know why it's not there though... the post seems correct.

2026-03-08 15:51:00 UTC

- reply

Usually when things are there and disappear it's because the author has deleted the post. Then one relay doesn't comply with deletions and send the post to the app, we make it available just in time the second relay sends the deletion request. And then we delete from Amethyst too. So, you may see it and then it will disappear.

Lots of relays have wot. Many clients are now implementing wot on their own side, so the relay quality is completely irrelevant.

It's all the same one. Just in different clients. Just like the same post can be seen in many clients.

2026-03-07 23:31:36 UTC

It's just whitelisting with some minimum web of trust. Anyone can do that. Or maybe we don't even need that at all. It can all happen on the client with events coming from any relay.

2026-03-07 23:28:08 UTC

Turns out few people realize that ZapStore is just another Nostr client... Anyone can make another store client and render the same apps that were shipped there because they are just Nostr events.

Any speed. Just get a lot of it (>64gb) Relays don't work when they need to go to the disk to get events. You need to put as many recent posts in memory as possible.
