Outbox model update from Primal. This week we released updates to all of our clients (web, iOS, android), with the following capabilities:

1. Relay settings are based on NIP-65

2. Newly-onboarded users get randomly selected relays from the list of ~1,100 active relays (plus primal and purple pages relays). Existing users can test this capability by selecting “reset default relays” in network settings

3. All published content includes tags with the appropriate relay hints

4. When posting replies, we respect the relay hints on parent notes and post to those relays as well

This update ensures that Primal clients play nicely with outbox clients. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service. That will take a bit more time, but we are marching ahead towards this ideal. 🫡

does this mean new users of clients that are not doing outbox will rarely see events originated from primal unless they add primal's relay?

No. But you bring up a good point: all users of non-gossip clients won't see events from new primal users unless they add primal's relay.

Note that this was always the case with non-gossip clients: they require some relay overlap to see each other's events. We are just making this more obvious now by not onboarding everyone to the same 10 relays.
