For my Nostr publications, I want to target different ones to different (sets of) communities. Not ALL of them to the same exact set of #outbox relays, that apps keep bullying me into defining.
I don't want to see every fart you make on Nostr, and you don't want to "follow" all of mine.
For my inbox, I don't want it all in the same feed neither. That's taking the worst part about email and adding alerts for emoji reactions in there too, on ANY of my Nostr events 🤦♂.
It's a set up that can't scale beyond one use case (twitter clone) and is why all #otherstuff apps have broken (or just zero) notifications, and in turn break the ones of the twitter clones it all started with.
Proactive steps:
- Target / Filter by communities, first.
- By content type, second.
- Have communities set up in a way that they have a main relay, so you can use those relays as the scope for publishing and notifications.
