I think you misunderstand. We're talking about a website being DDoS'd by many mastadon "instances" vs being DDoS'd by many Nostr "clients".

Clients will be fine, it's the website that suffers.

Nope. All the bottleneck issues are not on the server side. Sure you may see your phone hang up if you’re using it to generate a million links, but every one else will not notice your pain.

But clients will fetch metadata from the webpage to present a rich link. Since this is not cached on any server and is instead done by the thousands, and Hopefully, eventually, millions of users, would that not have the same effect?

Nostr is young and still under development. Those of us here are like pioneers, who move out to some remote place and might not have running water or electricity or other amenities for a while 😄

This has been my experience with various Nostr clients, possibly due to their using different relays.

I like Amethyst for Android best, and for the web NoStrudel. Primal is nice, too, for either one.

sorry, yes

Relays are read and write only. They do no execute code or perform complex operations beyond storing and forwarding messages. So, no.

Usually Primals caching relay is pretty good at getting a fuller picture of the activity than you get reading from your own relay set, because the caching relay is pulling from SO MANY more relays, but it may be having some issues, because it doesn't seem to be displaying some events posted to relays I know it pulls from. Something's probably broken.

Yeah, I've noticed the same. Primals caching relay must be on the struggle bus.

On Primal, you aren't reading notes and other events from your relays. You are only reading from Primal's caching relay. If that caching relay isn't pulling in those reactions and comments for some reason, you simply won't ever see them on Primal.

You are, however, still writing to your relays.

Those of you who are multilingual did learning one language help you learn another language more easily?

The beauty of #Nostr is

when something doesn't work in one app there's a ton of other apps to try it in. 🫠

#grownostr

With whom would you rather have a relationship? With someone who hates you and honestly admits it, or with someone you know hates you but pretends to love you?

#asknostr

Like taking a dump?
