@Alex Gleason @offchain.pub @Bitcoin Jungle @someone @jb55 @miljan and other big relay operators I don't know, have you looked into ? Do you think it's a good idea to integrate this into relays somehow, maybe as a strfry plugin? Would you use one if it existed? Maybe a module?

Oh, just for the record: I don't think everybody using a centralized scanning service is the long-term solution we need, but I'm hoping it will help a lot for now.
If anyone is interested in what I think is closer to a long-term solution: - outbox model: you can follow anyone you want no matter the relays they use since you'll only fetch their posts and not other garbage. - "global", "discovery", replies and comments and "inbox" (mentions, replies to you) feeds all should be filtered by relays that are more restricted, more strict about whom they accept, community relays, niche relays, or relays of curated content, depending on the use case -- I've talked about this many times, but here is one note from today:

Just kidding, we can also have apps that automatically grab relays from friend recommendations or even recommendations by the app maintainers if nothing else is available, then use these for the user without them even knowing, and if they seem to like it keep using, but if they seem to dislike switch to other ones, all very automated and invisible and assuming the user has the intelligence of a worm, like the UX experts say we should do. We can also do something in between, with suggestions that the user has to accept manually, or just making it easy for the user to, for example, click on a relay URL in a note from someone else and have the option to browse that relay and add it to a sidebar or topbar where they can go back there, then eventually add that relay to their own curated relay sets and recommend it to others, stuff like that. I don't have all the answer, as you may have noticed.

Yes, it is possible, but I'm not interested in doing that. It's probably better to use strfry at that point. In any case khatru doesn't have the concept of plugins, it's just random code you plug anywhere, so should be simple. For strfry it makes sense to have one binary blob that you just download and shove into your relay config.
I have no experience - yet - with customizing strfry, but I have experimented with khatru's pattern of "random code you plug in anywhere" and found it to be fairly reasonable to deal with. If you're telling my strfry is better in that regard I should definitely spend some time with it. thanks
