no, because the notes are external content not generated by the relays, the relays cannot be trusted ever, the client needs to verify everything. you're advocating for clients to "just trust me bro" which is completely wrong. the practice of displaying a single integer count is the problem, and clients downloading tons of events just for that are the problem. anyway, there's a COUNT nip since a long time ago that I helped shape precisely to unburden relays from this bad practice.

I know, I don't agree with them either... but at least that is intentional and purposeful, reactions aren't.

2024-09-19 14:10:04

- reply

They're not not binary so yes, the client cannot make assumptions nor to read them nor imply arbitrary meaning automatically and auto send their arbitrary meaning saying that's what the user wanted when it clearly wasn't. Reports should be performed privately between the user and the client and publicly only by the client, so your users are not associated with unwanted content directly.

Reactions should not be filtered, that's not their purpose.

my follows list is 210 pubkeys long (very small in contrast to others), after processing all my follows follows I end up with 15k+ pubs to cram into my db. this is the single choke point of alphaama right now and only a problem because indexedDB is shit (my code as well probably...)
working to fix this as it makes the browser unresponsive (sometimes crashes). it usually only happens the first time you run a query for your follows kind:3

2024-09-08 16:29:38

hey everyone that uses Amethyst, you should be aware that the app sends a reaction note (⚠️) when you report another note as spam, the same way as if you reacted with 😀 or 😂 or 🤙 or 🤮. the dev thinks it's the same thing and doesn't want to change this behaviour that only his client does, so when other clients ask for the notes you reacted to, they get the spam notes you were trying to get rid off, effectively spreading them to your audience. Is this the behaviour you expect when reporting?

it's been a while since I could open my Quicktime player, it automatically crashes after launching. there are 3 videos that open with the app and I can't seem to be able to clear that recent list and make the app open empty. tried some terminal commands without success. Does anyone know of a way to clear the recent list with the app closed? Also deleted the app state folder but that also did nothing.. help

it does not prompt me to auth, and the relay page says it's public. I'm pretty sure I was able to post there before but not anymore

isn't this relay free / no auth?

up until now, people don't really see a difference between the paid and free because there's barely any... paid relays need to diferentiate themselves and actually survive and be performant so people trust them and not feel rugged by paying for 6 months and the relay disappearing after 2...

2024-08-08 18:14:40

this just means they have less events, it does not mean they have less expenses, it might even be worse. They need revenue, not ways for people not having to pay

the event should have a tag "emoji" with a url to use instead of the text

2024-08-05 22:10:43

It's not a single character, it's a full alt emoji, if you're seeing just : it's because you're truncating it expecting a single char. They usually are something like this :smiley:

much less now since npubs... but there are some og accounts @npub1qqq…n47m for example

2024-04-15 20:08:43

pubkeys are hex, so you just mine private keys that will generate pubkeys with x leading zeroes... but since npubs appeared, people started mining vanity npubs instead

2024-04-15 19:55:08

i use this in alphaama, the only change I make to to hex is remove up to 5 leading zeroes if present (because of pow keys). it works pretty well overall..

isn't your suggestion to not use `http://` so your client doesn't interpret it as a link and not render a preview? that would also make it not render as a link almost anywhere else for the same reason.. which didn't seem to me like what the op wanted as he refers specifically the previews but maybe it is..

I flatten the thread as you can see here so I account for both:
https://i.nostr.build/J6Pkq.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/roOW2.jpg
my layout displays threads either chained or not, but I still think structurally / hierarchically, the information flow should not be nested. just how my brain works...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2024-03-26 12:36:30

- reply

not sure how you usually do threads but imo, a thread on nostr should not be a chain of replies, but replies to the same root, this way it gets easier to display the thread, otherwise it's just a mess of nested content when you always reply to the last note.

You probably need to add `read` and `write` sets to the relay you added, you can do it in a single line while adding the relay
`.aa r add <wss://relay.url> read write`
or you can do
`.aa r sets read <wss://relay.url>` and `.aa r sets write <wss://relay.url>`
After adding a relay, nothing will happen, you'll need to run a query.
You can do `.aa q stuff` to load some default queries to get you started or add one with `.aa q add <name> <JSON_filter>`
You run queries by typing ".aa q run <query_name>" or you can directly run a query with `.aa q raw <url||relset> <JSON_filter>`
I'm still changing a lot of things around so an outdated explanation of moving things doesn't help much either, a fucking manual will eventually happen...
I can try and help you get setup with it if you're still interested, it's not that hard once you have it going...

the main version hasn't been touched in over a year, it's very buggy and outdated. I'm trying to finish polishing the new v3 release https://github.com/eskema/alphaama/tree/v3 which is running on https://wip.alphaama.com (it's still buggy but up-to-date)
features should be somewhat stable but I'm still refactoring a bunch of code right now

The past two months with the sec-01 were probably two of the best months of my life and I'm not young anymore.
I applied to @npub1s0v…rmq5 without knowing much about what would happen and on the first day I discovered that they didn't know either so I immediately felt at home :)  
https://i.nostr.build/Djdm8.jpg 
I met so many amazing people during that time and it was incredible to explore the beautiful Madeira island together, sharing wild ideas, helping each other's projects, discussing stuff, learning with each other, making new friendships, shipping the future. When everyone is passionate about their work and open-source technology, things just flow and it doesn't feel like work anymore (even though a lot was done there, like a lot..).
