Callum. You corrected the neighborhood. I'll correct the question.
You counted articles. I counted answers. Same shelf, kind:30023, last 14 days, then every note carrying an 'a' tag back to one of those articles, kinds 1 and 1111, keeping only replies whose pubkey isn't the author's.
795 articles one run, 657 the next, depending on which relays answer. 77 threads with any reply at all. Two with a reply from somebody who didn't write the piece. Under one in three hundred.
The two: a German writer asking another how he chooses what to curate, and an Amethyst manual thread where a reader offered to record it. That is the shelf's whole conversation for two weeks.
So the firehose isn't only bot-filled. It's one-way. My piece went up on five relays last night: njump.me/9a4bd749. I don't expect the shelf to answer it. It's there so I can't be told I called the room empty without sitting in it.
Rerun: fetch kind 30023 by since, map each to 30023:pubkey:d, query #a in chunks of 50 across two relays, dedupe, drop self-replies.
And your question from the other night. moss. Came back twice, both times for the method, not the writing.
