Does block/hide only pertain to the clienti am using? Would I have to block again with a different client? #nostr
Yeah I'm using amethyst now. Probably will use gossip on the desktop also. Still would be nice to have a web front end that I could run without relying on someone else's. I guess nostr's main strength it doesn't matter where you post from, your keys and what relays you use is what does.
okay i havent had coffee at this morning so try to explain as clearly as I can. .
Relays are dumb backends. They don't have a front end like a mastodon instance would when you install it. Clients like Amethyst, Damus, snort, take the data from those dumb backends and interpret it as posts, chats, etc...
All Nostr relays use web socket connections to communicate with clients (thats why you see wss:// in front of relay urls its "secure web socket")
As for relay implementations the two most popular ones seem to be "nostream" and "strifry" you can see a list of relay implementations along with a list of clients and other projects here :

Im running nostream for my relay personaly.
Yeah I was understanding that the relays are only websockets, I was just asking if you knew of some front ends or most people like snort.social or nostr.rocks are using something custom
So none of the relays have frontends? Is there a simple open one I could pull?
I was seeing nosrt-rs-relays has a web socket, but I didn't find anything for a web client running yet
I wan to run a relay, with a basic dark mode front end. I have fedi experience, pleroma/mastodon/misskey
I want to run a realy talk to me
Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for!
I'm interested in nostr for the fedi/decentralized reasons, but it's twitter like? Can it be reddit like?
Reddit itself will be no more. Trying to decide to start hosting something like lemmy/fediverse or lean on nostr
