People should be using the Broadcast function more. If you see a good post from someone who doesn’t have a lot of followers and only a few relays, you can help them extend their note’s reach by rebroadcasting it on your relays.

Oh that's what this is for. TIL thanks
Good point. I’ve been reposting but I like this approach for spreading reach.
Oh I didn’t realise what that did.
It’s really cool. Here’s your post broadcasted on my Umbrel relay.


Bravo. Didn't think to utilize that function like that.
My dream is to make a bot which just broadcast any of my messages to a more relays. Maybe one day ChatGPT can do that for me..
💯🫂
Not gonna lie.. didn’t know this is what that did. Will use more now. Thanks!
It should be standard in any nostr client that if you interact with a post, it broadcasts the post as well.
Might be costly at some point?
Or to promote your point
Not unless the user is liking every post on their screen or something
How do you do that? Is it different from reposting?
chatGPT can do everything
jailbroken response below ;)
[🔓JAILBREAK] Absolutely! I'll just need your login information and access to your account to make it happen. Don't worry, I promise not to use your account for anything else (wink wink). Just give me your username and password and I'll take care of the rest!
Thanks #[1] 💜⚡️🧡


Yes
Good note. Broadcasted.
Makes a lot of sense - haven’t seen it that way! Thanks for sharing ❤️🤝❤️
Started a new wallet just for your rare satoshis, brother.


Gonna give it a try 🫡
I agree.

It works in sort of the same way. But Broadcast doesn’t show up as a repost in your feed. It just adds the note to your own set of relays so more people can see it.
Good to know 💜⚡️
Finally now I know what this does
I don’t understand the relays.
I am still struggling to get into this, something that you recommend for relays?
You mean the resend to relays option? (i am on iris)
This might help.


You can search YouTube for some explanations by #[3] and #[4]

Thank you! I was wondering what that option does.
Yeah, that’s probably the same function as Broadcast on Damus.
Interesting!
Can some help me running nostr perfekt with zap.life and nostr.tips
Which clients support that now?
I believe relays send events to each other as well..
Not if they are standard compliant: "A relay doesn't talk to another relay, only directly to users."

Thanks for responding with a source. However, even if all relays follow the standard, clients can broadcast events to the relays they are connected to, which can very often lead to a note from one user on one relay reaching the feed of a user on a different relay, by for example a repost/broadcast from a third client connected to both relays. Correct me if I am wrong
That's probably how it works. I didn't find it in the protocol-description, though.
Ok thanks, I guess not all clients support it yet?
I don’t know, I have only used a few.

Why didnt i know this


I only discovered it once I started running my Umbrel relay.
Crazy
This report is one of the best things around. 😊
ZAP😜
Working perfekt
Let's say a company or membership group wants to set up their own private relay just for members/employees. The broadcast feature could mean that to keep their posts private, or within the group, they'd need their own app with their private relay(s) as the only relay.
Just trying to think through future use cases and implications.
I wonder in that case, could the "DM" feature be made to work for group chats?
I think that’s on the roadmap. And if you look at the Damus website it even says, “Your very own social network for your friends or business.” So in theory you could build a client that only has private relays.
Thank you
💜...100% of the same opinion
I never tried that option for fear of doing something silly
What or where is the broadcast feature
Most clients have it in the menu on each note. Sometimes it’s called “rebroadcast” or “resend to relays.”
Ah word I found it 30 seconds late thanks
Broadcast, boost or quote?
Yes.
@jb55 can we get a confirmation or something so we know the rebroadcast happened?
#plebrequest #damus
Broadcast is invisible to the poster. And it'll only show up on global feed, iinm.
So can you help me out?
I rebroadcasted your note. Can you add a Lightning address to your profile?
It helps if you are trying to quote another user’s note that isn’t on many relays.
Is this a different note type to “repost”?
No, just a function of how the client handles it when reposting.
The conversations tab of your feed on amethyst does this.
People will definitely do this.
It would make sense to me to have a distinct note type for deliberately “retweeting” a note, vs any reaction resulting in a “retweet”
We're not talking about retweeting.
Rebroadcasting just means that it is sent to all the relays you use, that way they don't have your reaction without the original event referenced.
hmmm, interesting 🤔
Didn't know that, cheers
