The most interesting thing I’ve seen on Nostr for a while is happening right now.
Japanese speaking posters are have discussions about TVs and sizes, positions, etc - but without using replies (I.e. p-tags). Just new unlinked notes to interact with each other.
I did. notice most of their relays were Japanese based domains. Maybe smaller private relays, and smaller communities.
I think that’s a bug!
Or decentralised decentralisation.
I’m 80% sure it’s a bug and they are actually replying to each other.
I think I found the cause. The events are tagged with Mostr. I guess they are published from another platform and you lose the Nostr event references in the Nostr event conversion.
Missing both e and p tags.
So it’s not really happening on Nostr but on the fediverse? Is it two-way at least?
That I don’t know. I suspect not. Which makes me wonder how many posts (particularly in other languages) are Nostr bridges that kind of post broken content. It’s also confusing to never get replies I guess (if one way only).
Here is an example.

Yeah I think same thing is happening at Korean bitcoin community.
There are so few of them who are actually using nostr.
And no matter how many time I check my feed, it’s always quite LoL.
There should be some kind of algorithm which can show something to the newbies here. Like me.

I don’t understand. Please understand that I’m not familiar with those computer things…
Normally when using a Nostr client directly, when you reply, your message contains two or more special tags.
One tag is the original message id, and the other is the original poster id. That way Nostr apps can query to show you the previous messages in a thread, and also notify the original poster you have replied.
It seems some Japanese (and other posts for sure), are being copied from other networks, but without the linking data - so you cannot load the thread views and it looks like people are talking to themselves or just in global chat without using reply.
