OK so, first try with nostr:
I'm using "gossip" (github.com/mikedilger/gossip) because it's open source, and it's a program that runs on your computer. Which is the idea of this whole decentralization thing right?
But... I don't know if anyone is following me, I can't find anything about that. I posted a few days ago and never saw any replies, but then looked on iris.to and there *were* a bunch of replies.
Does anyone know if there are docs about how to use gossip? Using a common word for the name of the software makes it pretty search-resistant, and in the docs/ folder of the repo there's not really anything about how to use it.
Maybe it's some setting like "fetch replies to notes you posted" that I need to enable. And also should probably be enabled by default. Because otherwise can't really talk to people on this :)
Thanks!
Yeah I need to learn more about how this works, and I'll try to stick to the desktop / 'self-hosted' stuff if I can.
Right now what seems to work is using a website like iris.to to find replies, then copying the event ID into gossip. With the event ID gossip finds posts and I can reply (like this!)
Hard to find within the nostr network? Is there a better way to advertise / broadcast it? People have said link to a DNS domain I control which I'll get to at some point.
I haven't tried multi device at the same time, yeah I can image that would mess things up. I'm closing gossip on the desktop, then sshfs mounting on a laptop and using that.
Now that you mention, I will probably forget to close it on the laptop at some pont and try accessing both at once and get to see what kind of fun that leads to.
