You are right about that, it’s a drawback of the network. I have had very few issues with it, maybe because I use a couple paid relays? Idk

I have been thinking of the best way to get people I know on Nostr in a way that avoids the UX and data availability issues, or at least minimizes them. I don’t think non-tech savvy non-Bitcoiners can handle paying in bitcoin for a relay on top of the other issues you mention.

Maybe us as first wave Nostriches with tech skills should take it upon ourselves to run a relay or two just for our friends and family? They can choose any Nostr client and if they only connect to your relays then maybe the experience will be more consistent and we can keep them out of Global too which might be a good thing for some people 😂

I've mentioned this already. The sad, sad reality that I'm seeing is that the #normie solution is a #custodial service-app. Username & Password, functions as a client. Holds your keys, automagically sets up a #Lightning address for you (possibly acting as a node and skimming some transfer fees from you), sets up your #NIP05, and manages your relays. Even acts as one.

Not ideal and if powerful enough could break up #Nostr into separate communities, but it's what your neighbour Karen, your uncle Dick and your friends Kyle & Ashley are expecting.
