Why am I starting to see npubs I don’t follow in my feed on Damus?
Discussion
Are you following hashtags? Also, I’ve noticed that some change their user name but still have the same npub.
No
ALSO some client settings may share content from people you follow, or their relays.
Client specific settings. In fact I learnt Amethyst sets Web of Trust to on and that basically blocks people 😭
Starting to hate some of these things
hey thats my app! Im working with nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 to test using Nostr for metadata in #PC20. I dont have any hastags in there but it does have the GUID info nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 does and post to the Fountain relay so maybe thats why?
Heres the metadata its sending to nostr but other than that i dont know but its funny seeing you mentioning it and thanks.

Why was I able to see it in my feed?
Possibly just because I’m connected to that relay or something I guess?
Probably shared relays
🤷🏻♂️
it post here fwiw
wss://relay.primal.net
wss://relay.snort.social
wss://relay.nostr.band
wss://relay.fountain.fm
wss://relay.damus.io
wss://chadf.nostr1.com
So only 2 of the relays I use…
I couldn’t find it when I searched for the npub on nostr.band site lol
i got no idea. nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 said use Fountain and add that metadata so blame him. This is good info since I follow that account it being mine and all.
Ok will do from now on lol
idk nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 is going to have to answer that since Im just following his lead or at least trying to.
