Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

What this shows is just how big of an impact there is from @Damus not implementing NIP-65. It’s by far the most popular nostr client on iOS, and until it implements NIP-65, nostr will continue to operate under this “must connect to a few huge centralized relays to get a proper experience” situation. That kind of nostr is *marginally* better than Mastodon when it comes to being decentralized.

As in gossip structure? I can't even see long forms on some clients to be able to read the post, so def a lot of content visibility is lost due to various other reasons too. But on relays, isn't that the original goal - to have private relays, public relays - instead of streamlining all ?

yeah with NIP-65/gossip you still post to whatever relays you choose, but your followers don’t have to also be posting to those relays, their clients would know which relays of yours to temporarily connect to in order to get your posts.
