Nostr Web Client

Agree. Even as a bitcoiner I want to see other conversations.

What do you think of the following: on your timeline you have a feed that lets you instantly change network perspective: bitcoin to work to friends to food etc

*Toggle/button, not feed

How does having different relay sets guarantee different topics?

Great question - you are the first to ask this.

My interpretation of toggle between relay sets means different views of the network (similar to astronomy).

Right now critical mass is bitcoiners, so I cannot guarantee different topics even if you switch to an entirely different relay set.

I was drawing an analogue between e.g. commie mastodon, and bitcoin hackers mastodon where the views would be different (again not a guarantee on different topics).

Interest-based relays have been a topic of discussion for some time. There was even a design bounty for a client to support that.

I’m not sure how that would be implemented as there’s no way to stop someone going off topic, but that is one of the use cases the community would like to see built. I believe #[5] is kind of heading in that direction with Habla.News if I’m not mistaken

Yes. Part of the motivation behind relay sets is interest based relays, as you said.

Because a quick and easy relay toggle doesn’t exist yet we have not yet discovered if / how much a quick toggle gives you different content.

The relay sets example in the story is all pre-defined sets.

What if we inserted a bit of randomness and asked how can you completely change the perspective by minimizing relays that I use, users I follow, topics I frequent etc.

There is a relay filter for global just not a set of relays.

Yes. An easy to access change prospective toggle would reduce the friction to try out new views, and discover new content

I’m still trying to figure this one out - I’m only really using Damus, and I see a feed of notes, but have no idea which relays each note comes from. Would be nice to be able to toggle relays on/off and see how that affects the feed

Exactly. I really would like to see some other type of notes besides Bitcoin and Nostr although I am a firm supporter. It's hard out here lol

What are you into?

Can I interest you in my coin of bit?? 😂

Kidding. I agree. I think part of it is much of those joining are heavy into it and are happy to have a welcoming space.

And - I agree. More topical diversity lol

Lol! 😃. Yeah I totally understand. Bitcoin has found it own platform. One it can call it's own. I get it lol.

Talk about whatever you want. I mostly talked about Bitcoin on Twitter so I'm basically just doing the same thing over here.

What are some of your other interests?

I don't know where to start. Mostly what people would lable conspiracy and also spiritual topics. Not really on any political stuff since I could care less. I'm pretty easy.

Or follow more ppl with other interests ? If you can access search or nostr.band, you can type in topics you like and see who speaks abt them 🫂
