Is there a reason why the strfry relay config has a default maxEventSize setting of 65536 bytes? This puts a limit on the number of pubkeys that can be added to a kind 3 follow list at under 900. Relay operators can adjust the limit, but many donβt, so follow list updates silently fail without informing the user.
@npub1yxpr...qud4, are you still here?

This is the Nostr, not a Commodore 64!


The 240 version is the most recent, containing about 2400 pubkeys. My older one was close to double that, which is why I built #PlebsVsZombies in the first place.
That gif gives me all the memories
I built a script to test this stuff yesterday.
What happens is the relays (in this case nostr.bitcoiner.social and nostr.mom) reject the event with the following response:
["OK","09b63c0c74606b1d2c7102642c639786b51c00adc3328346cd5ef0161ca38807",false,"invalid: too many tags: 2359"]
This information is not generally provided back to the user by the client, so they wonβt know unless theyβre doing a deep dive like we are.
We need a Nostr client that looks like this.
I just queried Gemeni about running a nostr client in a c64 emulator. It'd be crap, very limited, but achievable, apparently, so a lookalike client would be more worthwhile. It wouldn't feel right without a proper clunky keyboard though.
