@semisol @Derek Ross I’m using nostrplebs.com and I was hoping to set my “recommended relay” with y’all’s nip5 service. Is there a way to do that? If not could I try to help y’all add that capability? I think this will help people join relays that have more of the people they want to follow (by nature of someone they want to follow’s NIP 5 telling them about that relay)

Took a pass at doing a weekly summary of what's going on in Nostr. Hoping to make it a regular thing so feedback is welcome 😃 I wrote is as a long-form note so it's not showing up in many clients as many clients don't yet support those kinds of events yet. Here's a publicly accessible link:

Weekly summary of what's going on in Nostr.

Anyone have a sense for how many relays are advertising community preferences in their NIP 11 relay info doc?

Built a simple relay explorer client:

GitHub - gregorygmwhite/nostr-relay-explorer: A basic UI for exploring events within relays

A basic UI for exploring events within relays. Contribute to gregorygmwhite/nostr-relay-explorer development by creating an account on GitHub.

It runs on the user's browser so it'll also respect their access to relays thar are\ behind a VPN or other network-based access control. Currently it's pretty simple, just allows you to enter a relay, an author's pubkey (optional), and a selection of kinds of events (optional). I wanted to have this so I could see more about what's in my private relay and see what's missing from before I set up my private relay. Hoping to clean it up a bit and host it for folks to use if anyone is interested. But for now you can run it locally pretty easily (instructions in the readme). Feedback and contributions welcome! Future plans: 1. Add support for better handling of limits for filter results. 2. Support filtering by tags (answering questions like "who have I been in threads with) 3. Add utilities/options to take on events that come back from a query (like being able to select one of the events and broadcast them to a specific relay, like my private one 😉)

Has anyone written a script to pull all events for a public key from a list of relays and copy them to another relay? I wanna take what I’ve posted before I had my own private relay and copy it to my private relay so I have a complete backup. I imagine this may be a common utility and if no one has written it I think I’ll do that today.
