Nostr Web Client

Nostr rant: #asknostr

Can someone explain to me how PRIVATE group chats or communities are supposed to work on nostr?

I have been experimenting in this space for nearly 6 months now and devs have done wonders on building the public side of this. But private is where customer trust is built! That is what the average user is coming for and what they are expecting.

What's the barrier here?

Is running your own relay the only way to do this? The average pleb is never going to be able to do that successfully so I'm not sure how this approach can ever scale to meet mass adoption needed to support communities.

This is probably the most important element needed to bring creators into nostr. Am I missing something or why has this not been a priority?

Shout outs to nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqavh2c0 and Flotilla ( nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn ) for having done the most work in this space. Still a lot to do to get private groups/communities to scale!

Got to play with Chachi more! Been using it mostly through Keychat browser mode cause I found it could load my private Flotilla space faster and it helped me sort out bloat on that relay. Now it helped reveal to me this issue with 0xchat where some group chats not private when users clearly thought they were.
