Nostr Web Client

OK so, first try with nostr:

I'm using "gossip" (github.com/mikedilger/gossip) because it's open source, and it's a program that runs on your computer. Which is the idea of this whole decentralization thing right?

But... I don't know if anyone is following me, I can't find anything about that. I posted a few days ago and never saw any replies, but then looked on iris.to and there *were* a bunch of replies.

Does anyone know if there are docs about how to use gossip? Using a common word for the name of the software makes it pretty search-resistant, and in the docs/ folder of the repo there's not really anything about how to use it.

Maybe it's some setting like "fetch replies to notes you posted" that I need to enable. And also should probably be enabled by default. Because otherwise can't really talk to people on this :)

I use gossip on Linux mint. Replies live inside your inbox on the left sidebar. In my case it doesn't seem like gossip knows about the multitudes I've followed through Amethyst. I know there's something about advertising/publishing your relay lists but I don't know exactly what that is

i don't even bother using it because i always open it up and get zero posts and i can't figure out how to add relays and it doesn't do any searches to find my relay list, which is uberghey

as vitor has been mentioning today about the problem of big outbox lists... it should be scanning the network for outboxes, that should find your relay list and then it should `just work™️ `

I clicked followed in the sidebar, then top right "edit list" button, and then merge, and that brought in all the missing people

That is good.

Person-List merging is manual because of the clobber issue.
