Amethyst's latest now force-updates relays sending old replaceables and deleted events while the user scrolls.
Relay operators, if you see lots of events signed in the past coming in, it's probably from this feature. Feel free to reach out if you see a bug.
Thank you. This has greatly improved browsing my own account's "index" post. (See my profile for link) Before this I had to load every edited post twice to get the latest edit.
I'm in the process of migrating my Telegram content to NOSTR, so the Index post are constantly being updated with new nostr:event links.
I need to get zaps going so I can send you some.
say if relays are paid relays.. is this gonna repeatedly spam them you think? (because they dont accept all events?) same question for relays that only accept private inbox or etc..
load averages have gone way up (10x+) since 7/16 00UTC, im trying to track down why.. so far not really seeing a cause for it. i will try to tell if its related, what specific kinds is this sending? all replaceables? like drafts?
yep, it's active for all replaceables and all events in case of the Deletion Event.
It is a problem only if the relay is not updating or not accepting the deletion event because it just going to keep sending it every time the old event comes down from the relay.
i think i may have weathered the storm.. load avg has settled down to (2x) what it was after chewing up 3g of new events in 24hrs..
question: does it only do this when it finds an old one not if it doesnt find one right? mutiny. etc.
Correct. The relay has to send an old event AND the app must have a newer version OR a delete event to send back.
These first days will probably be harder because there are so many outdated events out there, but as relays start to get up-to-date the additional use of resources should be minimum.
cool, thanks for the announce, I think it solved my mystery and i do think this is overall good for nostr. adjusted some things and apologize to everyone for any old events that i didnt think about the implications of before (on very old long running relays like nostr21.com that i transitioned to a paid model to combat spam).
drafts im still on the fence a bit tho, lol, soh many drafts, its king of events now (used to be likes). if theres any way to send slightly less of them, im sure the nostr net would appreciate. ðŸ«
please add "not interested" option to stop seeing feeds we are not interested in. you can implement it for specific user. or just separate the block and hide feature. i want to block user but dont want them to show up in mute feeds.
