people are loving #jumble - nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl 's new relay-oriented client, and for me it is two reasons - relays have the ability to filter out spam better than clients, because they can be paid, or private, or be only accessed by the list of users prescribed by some mechanism by the relay operator (like #realy and UTXO's WoT relays) - the application is extremely simple, and hopefully it stays that way and the author(s) are not fooled into the hype-powered fundnig mechanism that has polluted most other clients with five billion features that nobody needs - nostrudel is an example of this, it is useful, but the more things you roll into one the less likely that any of it works properly a lot of people are going to switch to #jumble because of these two reasons, and the rest of the client devs would do well to pay attention to the reasons nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpfseadmfvju8pg8d45fnmvdeyxpmv5enxt092ksr8tdyuvgawkf4qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcqyqdyr6qy90kjtwgmuh8uw833rqe5udvmtkflx2gz5ljp7g062f3ugrqvyd8

i agree but it suffers from extreme feature creep, which makes architecting it and maintaining it a lot harder
maybe what would help is if you kept a census of the amount of each npub events are found as a time series, like, broken into day segments or something, then you could prioritise fetching the ones that most frequently post a lot
this is an obvious subject matter for a "DVM" - gonna pencil this one into my mental notes for possible index and search functions - a time series data of events found in the index so you can prioritise the most likely stuff to have new content is an easy solution to make smoother on the back end too
it's just for getting the majority of the new stuff on the feed, you could always sort it by "first seen" and put the rarer stuff at the top
incidentally, sorting by reverse chronological order of timestamp opens up abuse of timestamps, it's still better to mark events by a seen date hmmm
gossip is too complicated, so there's that, also my #realy relay is easier to set up than gossip... a relay.
