nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 I’m trying to understand the whole nostr protocol in depth (reading all the NIPs and reading the code for common open source clients and relays)

One thing I’m wondering is, at some point in the adoption curve of Nostr wont it be difficult to be subscribed to enough relays to know all the conversations that may mention you?

Especially if paid relays become the default (which makes sense), wont we have to subscribe to a large cross section to make sure we get alerted to all @ mentions?

PS if there are people to follow or podcasts / blogs that talk about Nostr at a technical level I’d love to do my own research, but I’m not sure where to go.

There will probably be some.dominant relays which everyone subscribes to.

Yeah that’s a tempting way to solve the problem but then you’re compromising on decentralization. I dunno if we can have our cake and eat it too on this one.
