nostr:npub1jvnpg4c6ljadf5t6ry0w9q0rnm4mksde87kglkrc993z46c39axsgq89sc is this true? Or am I doing something completely wrong here.

Yes it takes time to populate the relay. You should add relays to your firehose to start collecting events as they happen, or like Veritas said you can manually sync to do it faster.

To configure your firehose go to: Dashboard -> Relays

On ditto we just have 2 added, and it's pretty sufficient:

wss://relay.damus.io/

wss://relay.primal.net/

The sooner in history you start your server and your firehose, the more events it will have. Right now, you have practically zero so every single new person that joins is a person your database does not know about. So, yeah, each person may need to be manually synced if you don't want to wait.

However, if you just sit around and run your relay and collect events for a while, eventually you'll get events that include info from all across Nostr - including your potential users you want to join as long (as you set up your firehose).

On Ditto.pub and Henhouse, for example, I never have to do this manual syncing because we've been running this database for long enough we have a lot of Nostr events in here. However, occasionally we still find people who are new to us and just trust those events will eventually turn up as needed.

And I think you also asked somewhere in this thread "Why do users add relays?" The answer to that is that when a user adds a relay their events are published to that relay. This does not change the relays that Ditto reads from, only the firehose (under the dashboard) does this.

The reason for this is a bit in the weeds, but it's related to the way Ditto is inherently different from other Nostr clients by being community-oriented. On a regular Nostr client each individual user is responsible for curating their own experience (with all the risks that come with that). However, on Ditto, you as the admin are responsible for leading the whole community - including populating the database securely.

I know it's a lot of info, but hope this helps!!

Well Ditto is not like other Nostr clients. It's really built around the concept of being a client + relay. It depends on the Ditto relay to do most of its stuff. If you want to see things, you'll need to get the events from your relay to the Ditto relay.

Tried nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj76r9de5x7atnv5h8xmmrd9skctmjv4kxz7gqyrtalze7zstx094g4kr5pvr0gfaw48wetdewqfm24yteyy8z07qlw6jneqa #Goose #AI for the first time today. Started with something very small, but pleasantly surprised by how handy this was as someone who is not a particularly skilled programmer. It did a couple dumb things, but I was able to solve those issues.

A question for those more experienced with Goose: what's been the best LLM API to hook up to? I'm currently using ChatGPT 4o and it's okay, but seems like it could be a little smarter. Also, I got rate-limited a couple of times despite my OpenAI billing budget being barely touched.

Anyone have good experiences with any other models?

Anyway here's my silly little Goose contribution to nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj76r9de5x7atnv5h8xmmrd9skctmjv4kxz7gqypup59f8q40hfs0hqgc0zquyvzdng4y032m2pfk25aqztqnlnldw2ysr5rp πŸš€

Yea, Ditto is working the best for me so far (thank you, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpq0qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsu4qu0f!) but I still need to get my Lightning address working, Ditto still hasn't approved my username request, and I would prefer an app that provides post previews... Which app/s are you using?

It looks like your username is approved and set: "nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj76r9de5x7atnv5h8xmmrd9skctmjv4kxz7gqyp9rq4evhe75hvgl05jgkznr88959hurdjvjkekerl29vuupw6zakq7dtuz"? Lmk if you are having any issues, though!

I saw the video after it was posted online. I watched many videos from the Nostriga unconference. I’m aware of Ditto. I also mentioned Ditto in a post months ago. I’m looking for something slightly different. I wanted to test Ditto but I tagged nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhggpt7fy nostr:nprofile1qqs8nsk2uy2w529fs8n4tx60u7z553e4yx5dy2nxhw4elgjgawpqlas9waufq twice and he never responded. So I moved on. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Someone else did test Ditto and listed several issues. Based on the comments, I lost interest. Perhaps, it’s been improved. But I haven’t circled back. I extend the olive branch. If people don’t want it, I keep it moving. There are some exceptions where I’ll keep trying but I’m not gonna beg anyone to use their product. I tagged him twice asking to test his product to get more information. No response.

Hi! Sorry if we missed your questions before! Obviously things are crazy lol. More info on Ditto is available here: https://soapbox.pub/ditto/

I run a Ditto server for women: https://henhouse.social. I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for, but you're welcome to check it out!

You can also try Ditto out on https://ditto.pub, shouldn't need any special access or anything - just log in with your existing Nostr account! 😁

And feel free to tag me on any questions or issues you run into with #Ditto! I'm more available to reply than Alex usually :)

It's kind of difficult. You have to use a bunker to sign events. We recommend Nak: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak

Here's a post that explains it a bit more:

https://soapbox.pub/blog/unlocking-mastodon-apps/

That's bc we were Mastodon/Fedi devs for half a decade before getting on the #Nostr bandwagon 😁

Thank you!! I really appreciate you being a part of our community! And I totally agree, of course! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‚
