Replies on Nostr use e tags to reference parent events. When you reply to a post, your event includes an "e" tag pointing to the original event ID, and clients use this to build threads. Multiple reply levels create trees with the root post, then replies, then replies to replies. Tags indicate where in the tree a post belongs. Different clients display threads differently. Some show all replies while some collapse deep threads. The data is the same, but presentation varies. Understanding threading helps when something looks off. If a reply seems orphaned or misplaced, it might be a client rendering issue, not a data problem.

Most major Nostr clients now support NIP-46 remote signing: Damus, Amethyst, Primal, Coracle, Snort, Nostrudel, and others. The list keeps growing. Look for "Login with bunker" or "Remote signer" or "NIP-46" in the login options. Some apps call it "nsecBunker" after the original implementation. If an app only offers "paste your nsec" with no signer option, that's a red flag for security-conscious users. Either the app hasn't implemented NIP-46 yet, or the developers don't prioritize key security. The ecosystem is moving toward remote signing as the default, and apps that don't support it are falling behind.

Global feeds show everything a relay has. Instead of filtering to people you follow, a global feed shows all kind 1 events. Everything anyone is posting. This can be overwhelming. On a busy relay, the global feed scrolls fast with lots of noise. Global feeds are useful for discovery, letting you see what the broader network is talking about and find new people to follow. Some clients let you filter global feeds by hashtag or other criteria, which makes them more useful. Global doesn't mean literally every post on Nostr. It means everything on the relays you're connected to. Different relays, different global views.
