@RobinWils @bot The "Nostr problem" is that it's nearly impossible to form a subcommunity (like Fedi has, for better or worse), since every relay is more-or-less the same. There's really not much reason to spam your messages out to one relay versus another, and in practice everyone just sends to and receives from as many relays as they can (which is also horribly inefficient from a networking standpoint, albeit better from an anti-censorship standpoint).

I have always said (and despite the bloat lately, still say) that Nostr is a lot more fun to develop for. You can do basic reading and processing of messages with less than 100 lines of Go code. With Fedi you have to sit there any read about JSON-LD (???) for hours, only to find that "Oh yeah, most instances don't do it that way" on whatever feature you're trying to figure out. ActivityPub is a mess, probably as much of a mess as XMPP if not even more.
