That’s definitely a bug! Sorry about that. If you open the profile tab does it show the correct number of people you follow?

I’ve been loosely following your work but I don’t fully understand how it’s working under the hood. Is your relay adding content warning tags to notes after they’ve been published? On nos.social we are doing a similar thing but using NIP-56 reports. We’ve also been experimenting with having LLMs publishing them. You can read a little about it at https://relay.nos.social/ but also happy to discuss further if you are interested.

Seem like a pretty weak system. Even if you only trust alternatives from people you follow, how are the those people supposed to know what was at the original URL? Providing these alternatives seems like a highly specialized task that is likely to be done by relays or other third parties which makes it even worse. Only trusting the original author to provide alternatives is a little better. But how is your non-technical grandmother ever going to understand who to trust in this scenario?

Content-addressed media is the solution we really need but I don’t see an easy way to get it adopted.

It minimizes programmer error which is the most expensive part of programming.

Lightning spam adverts. Is this fixable?

I’ve been finding Nostr Playground by nostr:npub18c556t7n8xa3df2q82rwxejfglw5przds7sqvefylzjh8tjne28qld0we7 really nice for debugging relay stuff. It’s a little web tool that makes it easy to query relays. Trying to type out filters on the command-line is really tedious. https://playground.nostr.com/

Yeah I set up the Zulip lol. That was my attempt at doing something about it. Now I am falling back on public whining.

I would love to have a Nostr-native solution for this. I’m sure we all would. To me the main components necessary for robust large discussions are nested threads, inline comments, and fine-grained notifications. Nostr communities only have the threads at this time but they would be a good starting point.

😆 you are the reason I am having the problem today but you aren’t the problem. I’m all in for bikeshedding, I just wish I could grab a side-table with someone instead of shouting across 4 other people trying to talk about other things.

Github PRs are such a horrible place to have large community discussions. It’s probably a big reason why I engage with the NIPs process as little as I do.

Who runs https://nips.be? It was down for a while but I’m so glad it’s back up because I use it every day. You can put the number of a NIP in, like https://nips.be/1, and it will pull up NIP-01. And if there isn’t a NIP with that number it will search for PRs with that number.
