You perfectly described what happens whenever I click a Primal link in Amethyst. I never could find the words, just confusion. π
Thank you. This one was a scrap piece for my own use, so its a little wonky.
I just started the first book, but it's already entertaining.
Snakeskin & suede magnetic bookmarks! 
I've been excited about making these. I can't decide if I should sew the edges or leave them alone. I think stitching on snakeskin looks too busy. Going stitchless on the bracelets has worked out well.
I think of "pin" as a semi-permanent action, and 'bury' as semi-temporary. I like them both, but bury gets used more because of the nature of annoyance.
That might work. I'll break my dependence on the experimental setup and think on this. I need to go through my Brainstorm and see how far out we make it before things start getting really weird. Then we can try something else with it. Top N pubkeys minus follows might be really good.
Yeah, we're not quite there on "clean" discovery or strict curation yet, as far as user level goes, but it's getting there. I'm not absolving myself of these experiments, just taking a different approach for now
Trying to manually clean up 30k pubkeys into a browsable feed is too much. I can't do it. Some hops out on WoT, people start following all sorts of spammy, weird, and nasty things. I just can't get ahead of it.

I'm going to break the stream on aplaceinthesun, after I figure out where I'm going to read & write in replacement. Then, I'm going to try expanding the allowed keywords on aquaticchickentheory and see if I can do something interesting with that. The dual allow criteria should make it relatively simple to clean up popular hashtags. I can't currently republish nor stream recipes there anyway, so its basically just an occasional reposted picture of soup, as it is. π
Sure, if you have other questions, feel free to ask. I'll answer what I can.

Nostrcade is spam. I didn't sign up to play anything nor do i want to. Thanks for the satoshis though. π
If you are subscribed to any paid relays, keep those as read, and maybe 1 or 2 others. Play around with it. If you see spam or still miss replies, swap the free ones to others.
Your read/inbox relays help to protect your received replies from spam & other unwanted things. But, you might want to write to big, public relays so your notes are more prolific. A lot of spam makes it through the big, public relays because spam accounts look a lot like a new user. Nostr overall is currently midway between 2 very different methods of handling the exchange of notes. Eventually, it will matter less where you write, but it will always matter where you read.
aah, thanks for the yakihonne trick... interestingly, all that's there in yakihonne is the link list from my https://nostree.me page
Readwithboris does seem to display from everywhere, i think it is indiscriminate about list name. All of this got me to suspect the other clients use their own lists for bookmarks.
I think you're right. Ghosts of static relay settings... I look forward to a day when some dummy-friendly client enables search & fetch of specific kinds.
There's lots of reasons you may not connect consistently. If you're not receiving notifications, you would probably benefit from different/less read relays. 1-3 read, 1-3 write is a good set up. Write = where you publish your notes. Read = where you receive interactions to your notes. They can be the same or different. Too many of either (more than 5) can cause added issues. Some things will still be inconsistent but you should see improvement on you're own stuff. Best is subjective. There's also some client specific nuances. Which app do you use?
In Yakihonne, they are kind of buried. You have to open the main menu > dashboard > then swipe over on the bottom bar. I don't know why they wouldn't be making it to your relays though.
Gratitude π

It's a little bit annoying that so few of the nostr clients seem to agree on how to store bookmarks.
I thought they were handling them differently, but they are simply not finding them. https://readwithboris.com does a great job of that. Run it with a local relay with it & you'll have most, if not all, of your bookmarks in one place.
π― I really want to make a super fancy set of dominoes out of local stone someday, but it just seems so unrealistic right now π
In glad you commented before I ordered molds off of Amazon π that's a great idea, I'm going to do both.

Thank you! That is a beautiful book and video. How long did it take you to assemble it?

I'd argue that there are actually 3, but... Funny enough, my next little "series", after I finish writing about relays, will be focused around using Nostr practically. I don't intend to write about specific niches, but more broadly about stringing various applications & relays together to achieve a purpose, with a few exemplary pairings. I've been a bit busy & locked in my head lately, so progress has slowed. I'm glad you're seeing what I'm seeing though. That tells me it's not a terrible idea.
As far as helping to keep other things current, those are definitely tailored towards a "heard of nostr in a random YT video or tweet" type of audience. Broad and solid, I think, is important for that. I am no final authority on those, but it still feels appropriate to expose my logic, even if it only matters to 5 people ππ€£

They have playlists. π
Why don't more clients support zap splits?
Maybe I add LFG to that reaction pack? π
Normie mobile chrome w/amber is where i am seeing it, if that helps.
π₯³ woo! I'm happy to hear that! It looks great! I need to try cauliflower in mine next time i make it.
They do, and that's part of my dilemma/motivation with aquaticchickentheory π Recipes get lost amongst all the other stuff in long-form & follow feeds. The only DVM dedicated to food doesn't pull them in. They are viewable lots of places but the only way to browse them is drectly on zap .cooking.
The revelation of the true insight behind the GMs comes when you sychronistically see one in real life. π
Himalayan pink rock salt is da bomb. But why do I get the feeling itβs not from the Himalayas π€¨
Haha, that's people take geologists either way seriously or not at all π
Not like anything I say should matter, but it's important that modularity outcompetes or is, at least, comparable in the short term, so monolithic apps are less likely to create capture via complexity & obscurity. The whole ux sucks if you can't figure out how to leave when you want to.
I try to be, while I can. Winter often doesn't provide such comfortable affordances.

π McMeta when?
π€£ this joke is too niche isn't it? It is... I knew better, dammit.
Will do... That would be an honor π«
Relays can only help if clients are capable if facilitating what they can do. There's a bunch of interesting relays already that don't receive much activity because interacting with/on them is limited to 4-5 clients, none of which are the big 4. Unleash relay developers & operators from the follow feed & that would unlock uncountable possibilities.
