The network is the super app

Too kind, with thanks. Node seems to be up and running. If a bug, how would I diagnose?
I was looking for stats on the network, like number of notes, daily users, relays, clients etc.
Thanks for the help though!
Interested but I can't find it. Would you please be able to share a link?
Hey great, thanks. I thought that might be the trick. Do you have any example you can point me to?
Oh I'm all over the place. Amethyst is my daily driver but I've also used Primal, Iris, Habla, Highlighter, Shipyard. I'm probably not your average user!
As a user that joined earlier this week I have a whopping 15 followers, which granted isn't a lot but I didn't have any particular other expectation either.
I'll look into the bug, thanks!
What do people use for stats on the #nostr network itself? #asknostr
I've spent the day thinking about this and now I think relays != communities but that UX probably still solves this. I may only be slowly catching up here to things you've already thought through.
Where relays are physical servers, and
Where communities are groups of users
I can imagine situations of multiple communities within one relay (e.g. the user is a family member involved in many other small family groupings but does not need dedicated relay for each)
I can imagine situations of multiple relays for one community (e.g. the user is a large multinational company who wants high availability and hosts a relay in each of US-East and Asia geography)
Examples seem to break the 1:1 association and require NIP-28 (or 29?) as well. So then the question is of hierarchy and primacy in the UX.
What were you thinking?
I'm involved in a few companies, a few communities, a "public square" (is that what Twitter calls itself?), plus friend groups, social groups, etc.
Each uses a system which might be Slack or WhatsApp or Discord or whatever. Each is siloed with no interop. And the platform cos want it that way because "vendor lock-in"
But as a user I want to access them all and I frequently want to pull ideas from one to the other. Or post to several. Each of these entities is limited by the silo of these systems in their own often invisible way.
Breaking down these walls with forums that are private and also interoperable-at-user-discretion is an awesome UVP.
I'm mostly on Amethyst today for reading. I'll check out yakihonne. I posted my long form notes from highlighter so far; seems to have the best editor.
Thanks for the tips!
