 I've been thinking this, lately, as well.

Most newbies don't actually want to show up and see a feed full of #devs arguing about algorithms and tiered storage, or whatnot. That's an immediate turn-off, even if it sometimes gets more interesting for users, once they've figured out how all this stuff works.

Lots of devs actually have OtherTopics. They just rarely post about them because the dev-y stuff is what gets clicks (from other devs). Since devs are inclined to stay on Nostr, however, and there are so many devs, it would be better for all of us if they/we talked more about our OtherTopics and there be a dev community relay where we could talk our dev stuff.

So, I started one, that I will manually curate: 
https://devs.nostr1.com/

It just picks up keywords that sound "devish", like "C++" or "NDK" or "devs".

 @cloud fodder could you pipe or negentropy or whatever it is, some other relays into the feed? Maybe from theforest and damus? 
 sure, ill add some streams to it tomorrow 🦖 
 Do I have the keyword filter setup right?

Does it pull the whole thread, or only the note containing the keyword? 
 with keywords it does a basic substring match on content.. you could allow tags for replies, but it could get spammy.. 
 Should I have an npub allow list? It's just the keywords, at the moment, like on Christpill. 
 might be good to have some npubs in addition ya, like if u can find a dev list to import or something.. 
 I have a big list, actually. On the wiki. I'll go whitelist them all. I'm going to do an "AND", then, so that their bread baking or guitar-playing posts don't show up. 
 mmm, right but if u do the and itll *only allow those pubkeys (and only if they post the keywords)..

You will all start appearing on this relay, soon. Just FYI. 
 GM @fishcake ☀️  
 GM! So are the rest of the people in this mini-hell-thread! 😂🫂🫡 
 Perfect!

I'll be starting this one soon, for getting the NIP talk over here (even more dev-talk lol):

 Word. I try to talk about all sorts of stuff. It's been grain heavy recently though.  
 Yes!!! 🧡🧡🧡 
 Sounds fun. 🤝 
 I really want something like Amethyst multiprofiles, but the ability to switch last second before clicking post.
And/or a toggle to remind me to use a hashtag for categorizing the post since its 2024 and we have no standard for full text search.
Then i could split my posts between dev stuff, reading, fitness, meming/shitposting etc 
 🤙🏻

What about a NIP-29 group? 🤓  
 This problem can be solved with an algorithm that evalutes each event by taking the weighted sum of all the interactions seen on that event, where a user model defines weights for a set of profiles. A positive weight means interactions from this profile increase the ranking of the event this profile interacted with. A negative weight does the opposite. All the events are sorted by rank, and the top results are shown for an evaluation over a given timespan. Previously shown events are exluded from subsequent evaluations. 
 Yep all i wanna do is
Hit that link and browse…. And turn off other clients. Way to go @Silberengel  😁 
 Do you mind, if I add you as a moderator to the relay? Then you can also add devs to the allow list, as you find them. 
 Go for it 
 same, thanks 
 that might be a good idea! this new discovery mechanism does call for an overhaul of the typical client 
 I treat a boost the same as just another interaction for now 
 Yeah, I had that idea, with timing relay subscriptions, a while back. Useful. 
 will check it out. I can get behind the no images ethos! 
 the nostr algorithm mirrors the approach of deep learning at a higher level of abstraction. it's as if we've all been tinkering around with a single layer neural network without exploiting the possibity of leveraging other nostr profiles to filter incoming events through a deep network of dynamically evolving algorithms and user specified weighting models 
 I like their idea of forking algo's too. in my concept of the nostr algorithm, you will be able to fork algorithms as well as weighting models, and compose your own custom model from models of other profiles you trust, which could be human or AI 
 Yup :Check: 
Fork it for a forked convo.
Write an article about it to go in depth.
Quote it in a chat message for gossiping about it somewhere else. 
 exactly 
 Add "code" 
 cool, ill grab this list and try to track down whats happen 
 now streaming theforest, damus -> devs too 🦖 
 Your first job as dev relay moderator is adding "3878d95db7b854c3a0d3b2d6b7bf9bf28b36162be64326f5521ba71cf3b45a69" to the list of moderators, as you accidentally locked me out. 😅 

Tells me "not your relay", when I try to change the moderation list. 
 @cloud fodder !! When he wakes up lol 😂 
 His daily TODO list, from me. 😅  
 gm!  😁 mods cant change the moderator list.. only owners can.. does that seem like a good setting?  i had pondered this one, if it should allow mods to change other mods. 🤔 your relay owner is your other account i believe.. 
 I just tried both accounts, and it didn't work.

 Thanks! I'm using NIP-29 for groups for now so only a handful of relays can be used for groupchat atm. I'm also implementing nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynq's proposal that doesn't require it but the UX is a bit different.
