Does anyone know what "broadcast" does on #Amethyst?

If I'm not mistaken, it broadcasts the event to your public outbox relays possibly improving the distribution and discovery of that event in the network.

Thanks, so far I've not distinguished my "in" vs. "out" relays. It does seem like I only get engagement on posts that are broadcast. I suppose I just don't understand the difference between posting and broadcasting.

I need a course on nostr 😅

Generally, there's no reason to broadcast your own post again. Posting already broadcasts that event. Most relays will just ignore a duplicate event id.

Good to know! Thanks, It did feel redundant
