I'm not sure, but for me as a curious and new user it was a really frustrating experience.
In our small #nostr group in Western Austria, we discussed a few weeks ago, how to get more users here. Many normal people have a very low tolerance threshold for such "teething troubles". And they have no idea how to counter this as individuals.
I first had to learn this myself.
I believe ditto.pub has solved the Reply Guy problem if that's useful to you. I would recommend using that as main client, especially for new people
There are two main spam attacks tho. This guy is not the reply guy one, which hasn't stopped. This is guy was only targeting dev's posts with replicated replies with emojis thrown in. Just to be clear lol.
Still annoying, just cos it only replied to devs doesn't make it less annoying. Most people follow the devs here lol.
How exactly does ditto solve the problem?
I believe they require a nip05 to see posts, spammer then started using a nip05, ditto blocks that nip05 URL
I have a feeling ditto posts also have a small PoW? Not sure about that one tho
But now I miss a lot of replies on ditto 🥲
So, if I am reading nip05 right, would that mean that phone apps that use public relays would be accepted? The idea that someone would have to register a domain name just to interact with people seems like a nonstarter
I have no idea..I'm not the best person to respond lol.
But you can get a nip05 free from a few places like zaps.lol I can't remember any other ones.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh this is another free NIP05 you can get

And you can request them on ditto.pub too actually. That's my current one and I totally forgot lol
Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
