 Browse global. Know that mostr exists. Follow lots of people. Nostr is NOT an echo chamber, if you use it right.  
 You can now also browse bluesky for nostr users ;) #protip 
 There could be a DVM for Bluesky users who are bridged 🤔 
 And a mostr DVM, obvs 
 obvs  
 I'd love to do the DVM, have some more specs? 
 do you know where the source code for this is? i have to build an aggregator 
 i found it: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed

oof python... gonna get a peg for my nose and wade into this later 
 You mean to show content from mostr users only? Great idea 
 Yeah, there's a few ways this could happen. Mostr-only, mostr accounts with the most nostr follows (vice versa), popular mostr posts etc etc. 🤔

No idea what is doable / best 
 Not a DVM but you can also probably try using

wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub

as "global feed" relay, to see Mostr or Momostr only notes. While we are waiting better DVM from @Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 👀 
 None of the bridge relays seem to support nengentropy, so can't fetch the events currently to locally work with them.  
 nengentropy

🤣🤣🤣 
 Dear god, I started building the DVM and after seeing content from Mostr I want to burn it immediately.

 If you need the "tamed" version of it then you can fetch the events using wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub . It has default filter for those wild content 😅

I think the "tamed" version is quite good. There are also variety good accounts there. 
 Trying now 
 Argh, negentropy also not supported. 🫣 Need to work around then 
 If you still found the content that you don't want then you can also probably tweak it with confidence score parameter setting

 If you are on Amethyst can you check the trending on mostr DVM 👀 (it's not deployed yet, it's using your filter relay rn) 
 It btw seems that some nostriches appear there too, not just bridged accounts 👀 
 It works. But it seems there are mixed events with nostr native user (non bridged). 🤔

How did you fetch the events? Does it using parameter user=activitypub ?

 Yeah that's the relay I'm using with the flag 
 (btw great example of the content coming from there lol) 
 Hmm it seems weird need to debug it 😅

I have tested using nak manually

nak req -k 1 -l 2000 wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub | grep -v activitypub

It gives 0 since the returned events because all the returned value were all from mostr.

While

nak req -k 1 -l 2000 wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub | grep activitypub

Show all the activitypub events 
 Doesn't seem to make a difference if I have the ?user= or not 😅 
 Ah maybe it was entries in the local dB from before. Cleaned it now. Any plans to enable negentropy? 
 Oh, does it work for now?

If not I think the probably reason is you fetch kind 7 directly with wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub ? Right?

["REQ","subid",{"kinds":[7]}] 

Currently filter logic in nfrelay.app only process REQ with kind 1. So you can't directly use kind 7 with any filter for now. Other kind beside kind 1 is not filtered 😅

You can probably use those kind 7 but need to check again from "e" tag in those kind 7 to nfrelay.app . Did certain kind 1 exist with those "e" tag

["REQ","subid",{"kinds":[1], "ids":["eventId1", "eventId2"]}] 

into wss://nfrelay.app/?user=activitypub

> Negentropy implementation
Not at the moment. I think will add into backlog feature later. Currently want to finish the main features at first. 


 
 @Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 Did you deactivate Mostr DVM? It seems there is no response in the last few days 
 It sometimes dies because I have to grab on the fly from relays because none supports nengentropy compared to the others. Will restart 
 Thank you. It works properly now. 🫡

By the way, did you cross check the trending notes into nfrelay.app to filter in the last step? 
 Or use https://slidestr.net to browse for interesting media content. Lots of photography from the fediverse to find. 
 I love slidestr and use it for discovery all the time. The fact that you can put multiple tags into the URL is very neat. Thanks for building it 💪🧡

 First time I heard of it! Will check it out and add to the list of nostr apps in the PDF version my book (print version already in at printer) 
 What's wrong with an echo chamber?

 What is mostr? Serious question , I’m still a noob 
 mostr.pub I had to look it up myself. 
 Not an echo chamber in that we can follow who we want and not see updates from those we don’t, but a lot of closed minded name-callers who stumble onto Nostr then run back to whatever censorship hellhole they came from to avoid conversations they disagree with… 
 Most of the fedi users are not up-to-date due to their server admins banned mostr.pub. Can’t interact with my friends from mastodon.social for instance. 
 Using alternate bridges is a temporary option. 
 I need to be reminded of this. I tend to sometimes not interact and explore nostr as much as I want to. 
 I do subscribe to the mostr bridge but my god is there an insane amount of autism accounts over there
