Nostr Web Client

For someone coming to nostr in say a year, is the “entirety” of the network knowable?

Can someone just head to nostr.watch, for example, and just loop through every public/paid relay and ask for every single event? I would think the relays would close the connection before serving all that data right?

nostr.band indexes all relays.

Oh cool thank you

Slightly rephrased question then:

Could nostr.band do this type of indexing in a couple years time, starting from zero? I’m wondering how we expect data persistence and rate limiting on relays to play out. Is a complete index of everything on nostr practical or even desirable?
