im here to avoid the news

Somewhat unrelated, but I think Reddit-like communities have a better chance to succeed than topic-specific relays. I think relays are slightly harder to understand as a concept and they work better as something which is "transparent" to the user: a mere technical detail most of the time, which the user doesn't have to keep track of. Users shouldn't be expected to manually select relays every time they post. A solution can be that of having a community and hosting it on a relay specific for that community. Alternatively, a relay could fetch and store events with a given hashtag.

if you follow the outbox model there is no need to subscribe a particular relay, and if you can't reach that note if it gets spread it will be in your feed

The news relay is/was an early experiment in segmenting content. Many news outlets are running rss feeds which can clog feeds. The news relay allows you to get your news while still seeing the other things in your feed. 100% agree that communities can benefit from relays!

We selected outlets and wrote a script to include their notes. The feed includes participants from the Journalism Accelerator as well as other outlets with consistent note publishing cadence.

No. I don’t think I’m familiar with that. Can you share the NIP05 or npub?

Are you going to support e-commerce ? Nip-15 Nip-99 They are getting merged

The issue is with posting to the news-specific relay to begin with.

If the purpose is that of having RSS bots it might make sense. I thought the idea was having users specifically electing to push to the news relay when they post news, which I think is unlikely to become a common practice unless it's automated in some smart way.

I've never used relays for specific content. I follow people and that's my usual feed. So I want to see news from this relay, I add it and then? Go to global? I'm using amethyst BTW.

Will you be supporting nip-15 or nip-99 for ecommerce?

Would yall consider adding @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 newsbots: View quoted note →

Sure the ones that are active.

I’m not familiar with the UI in amethyst but you would want to switch the feed to view only news.nos.social to see the news feed. @Vitor Pamplona do you support single relay views?
