@grok is this true?

I am loving how #strfry can hot reload most configuration changes without restarting! Absolutely awesome #nostr relay. It's only been a few hours since migrating and going live, and I already love it. :MEOWDY:
Amazed I could migrate all events from nostr-rs-relay and import them into strfry without much fuss. I was honestly worried I'd have to lose data in order to migrate, which is why I held off for years. :goberserk:

Hello frenpais! Well, I've finally done it! The superfriends public #relay has just migrated from nostr-rs-relay over to strfry! πΌπ₯
We have migrated all event data over as well, so if you were using the superfriends relay before, your data should still all be here. Everything should work exactly as it did, except much more performant! This means feeds load much faster, events read/write much faster, and less error-prone.
As always, anyone is welcome to use it: wss://nostr.superfriends.online
nostr-rs-relay has been fantastic over the years, but the backend on sqlite3 was a major bottleneck for public relays. Even with loads of fine-tuning, there is only so much you can do with sqlite3, particularly if hosting a public relay (I think it's great for private/small relays!)
I like that strfry uses LMDB which is much faster and scalable. It also is more actively maintained and has some great tooling built in for plugins and extensibility.
If you have any problems, please let me know.
Enjoy! π»πΎ

View quoted note βHey @AQSTR, is there a reason the replies on the webapp are capped at 280 characters?
Would be great to be able to post longer form replies there!
So glad I left that shitshow years ago. Absolute clowning.

This is a great point and I've postured similar thoughts in a post a few days ago. I don't think exclusivity is intentional these days but there's a real microcosm of ideologies that challenge wider adoption. Both technical and content-based.

Quick overview of the various #nostr chat #NIP specs:
NIP-4: old DMs (deprecated)
NIP-44: new DMs
NIP-44 + NIP-59: new DMs with Gift Wrap
It's very clear what the way forward is, however it's down to universal robust implementation from the various clients and usage of personal relays (or at least trusted ones where you can delete).
It's very clear what the way forward is, however it's down to universal robust implementation from the various clients and usage of personal relays (or at least trusted ones where you can delete).Hey @utxo the webmaster π§βπ» I'm not sure if you're the right person to ask, but does #haven delete NIP-17 DMs? I see that deletion support was added in 1.0.0 for the inbox relays, and from my DM tests it seems that DMs were deleted, but I am having trouble confirming that or finding documented reference of it.
Thank you so much! π

what are the best #NIP-17 compatible relays to host ourselves right now? Including deletion support.
I'd be happy to host one for public use too, but not sure which is the most advanced for DM capabilities.
