That is certainly my goal. I can say there is a path to this type of client. It would operate with relay.tools API. There are so many possible ways to distribute clients, but I aim to try and stay true to the classic experience. It will be a sovereign movement of sorts. Users who desire this framework need to simply find (or be able) to install relay.tools on a VPS. This is fairly simple for anyone who is driven to do so. It has a UI but acts most like a relay control board for operators.
We still need the client. But it will come. I am certain of it.
For now, no, there is for instance satellite.earth and coracle.social which implements nip-29 groups, as well as other apps that use the implementation.. but recently Flotilla was released for Android which opens up mobile groups. We have a discord replacement which is half of what I'm looking for. Reddit is the other half.
To put this in perspective- nip-29 is "groups on relays" which has lots of good value.
Relay.tools is "relay creation and management" which unlocks the possibility for a client that can then manage catalogues of different relays, to deliver that same reddit experience. But "subreddits" will literally be dedicated relays. No one will formally control this type of client, it will hook into a bunch of sovereign API calls directly to where the relays are.
Users who are running sovereign instances of relay.tools will also be able to essentially sub-let their domain for further ecosystem expansion. You can already do this, but it feels lackluster without a proper client. I can create a relay for you instantly, and if I were to configure lightning on my server, I could also charge a small fee for this. For now I only operate my own relays for discussions and testing, drafts, inbox/outbox etc. I don't know what experience you are coming from, so I apologize if this is a lot of extra information.
