Nostr, ActivityPub's fediverse (and Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin/Kbin threadiverse as well), ATproto's fediverse, blogosphere, geminispace, gopherspace, onion network (HSes), I2P network (eepsites)... I've been to all those places, still I haven't been into the feeling of belonging to those places (yes, not even here, in Nostr). I want to know other similar, niche-d digital realms I could try to explore and, perhaps, find a place to maketh my nest and resteth. Any suggestions, anybody?

Probably dead by now.
Second test, this time with something akin to a Xwitter's "blue badge", perhaps to prove (to whom?) there's a person behind this random npub (whether that person is alive or not is a whole other story).
I'm not sure which relays to keep. Currently, I'm using 8 relays, which is too much (and I'm not even sure whether they're receiving). Partly it's due to my Fediverse mindset, where activities from Alice are fetched only by instances where there's at least one user currently demanding Alice's outbox, so I used to proceed with an ouroboric autophagia where, for example, my Mastodon identity followed my Sharkey identity so the former pulled new activities from the latter without the need to manually fetch the individual content.
AFAIK, Nostr relays pull content among themselves, correct? I'm knowledgeable of things such as cryptographic key pairs (sometimes I use GnuPG) and WebSockets (I'm a programmer), I understand Fediverse's ActivityPub to a certain technical depth, I know the fact that Nostr content is sent to one or more relays with specific "kinds" (such as kind 1 described by NIP-10 for "text notes and threads"), and that's basically all. Yeah, I can read about it somewhere, but I'm used to this flesh-and-bones reasoning where I talk to myself and ask myself only to hopefully be answered by myself and further reinforce this ouroboric autophagia at the ontological level, because humans never really existed, do they?
Chances are I'm going to flee eventually, just as I did in the Fediverse, Geminispace and other spaces, because I don't belong anywhere in this specific spacetime continuum... do I?
(This text note got 1783 characters, maybe it's not going to make it entirely, or it'll be truncated, I see no setting on Jumble for posting as a NIP-23)
