I’ll respectfully disagree that it is not a protocol issue. It is hard to scale a core infrastructure, and it is not possible to have a large number of people together here and reachable. Many relays does not mean many people, when they all have to be on one to even see each other 🐶🐾🫡
That's client side though. A good client aggregates then displays content. From what I can tell, Primal certainly does this and caches on their own. It's then up to the client's algo to parse through that giant mess of events to generate a feed for each user. Step 1 and 2 are already done. Instead of doing the final step 3, they go build donkey shit. lol
