Question, for um… anyone out there?

#plebechain #plebchain

I’ve noticed that posts I’ve reposted, liked, etc. don’t show that data when re-examined later — is this a client thing or a relay thing?

Secondary question, as to the relays: if a post is made to relays “A” and “B”, liked two times on each, will a client show the net total, all four of those likes? Or just the two added from within each relay?

In other-words:

how does the nature of NOSTR relays change the terms/nature of social engagement across the network?

1. Unless a client loads all of the reactions to all the posts you see, it can't know whether or not you've already liked it. NostrGram checks this and indicates you've already reacted to a note by making the heart a solid red. It can do this because it uses a caching server that makes it very fast to do so.

2. If the client you're using doesn't check whether or not you've already reacted to a note, it can (and will) write multiple reactions to the same note for your pubkey, and there's nothing in the relay servers that prevents this. NostrGram checks if you've already reacted to a note and doesn't let you do so again.

So yes, it's very client-dependent how the social engagement is handled.

Fascinating. 🧐🤔

Definitely ripe opportunity for some competitive diversity in a market environment 🤙
