Yeah as great as Nostr is, it does have its trade-offs. It's still young though, I'm sure it'll smooth out.

I still think the trade-off from traditional social media is nice and worth it. The only problem is that the average user won't ever accept that :(
Same for bitcoin, that ain't stopping us 😁
If we build it, they will come.
They'll kinda have to, fiat and their centralised platforms are not designed to last.
From my POV, I think the notification issue will go away and other issues related to not getting all data and up-to-date data, as well as saving states (like knowing when you last read stuff from any device or app, from feeds to notifications to messages).
Some of it is just a matter of creating a new type of noster event/kind, the other is creating a normal server DB (think Primal or Ditto I think) but even that can be decentralized as well in terms of just simply giving the user what you're using and the option for the user to swap that out with something else.
The future is bright and smooth =3
