ok I got a first interesting finding here... I'll try to summarize once I finish playing out with the data but this one got me by surprise

My posts or notes showed up in 220 relays!

Not everyone had everything but 220 surprised me... of course I didn't connect to so many, which tells me that there are many many of those that are getting feeds from others.... did you know that?

ok now you know :)

what you can see in the image is just the number of notes that I queried from few days to many many relays and the count of queries seen by relay

When someone boosts one of your notes, they spread your note and your pubkey to relays you never touched.

It’s designed to pollinate like this.

I think a broadcast does the same thing?

I'm still surprised on how much this spreaded

Yeah 220 seems like a lot!

Pollinate- beautiful 🀩

Heavy are the zaps.

I just posted something new from a new pubkey to damus relay and so far it's only showing in Damus... which tells me that most of the effect maybe coming from that polinate effect ... I'll do more fun stuff during the next couple of days to reach some conclusions

Interesting πŸ€™

Oh I love that imagery Stu! The Nostrbee.

the other great thing is you can use boosts to start new threads from replies, threads then can drift off topic and go forever

Isn’t that only when you β€œbroadcast” a post?

If I reply to you, astral for example will relay your note to my relays as well as my reply.

maybe that's what's causing it. although I'm surprised with the amount of relays that almost got everything I posted

I assume reactions do the same thing, could be why

I'm sure many relays are mirroring stuff as well πŸ˜„

Yep. I’ve found there are three tiers, the mega relays, the mid tier which are mostly syncing between each other and are almost the same in content diversity, and the lower tier where it’s mostly a small group of users only and typically not syncing from other relays.

It’s not a bad place to be for the overall network.. but next couple 10x growth jumps will likely destabilise that.

the nsa will run a big relay obviously
