NickJunes on Nostr: If you wanted to make an client just for video (which I am) and you don't want to ...
If you wanted to make an client just for video (which I am) and you don't want to miss out on all the kind=1 video attachments then you have to filter on both. If you have an app that only filters on kind=1, but it is perfectly capable of displaying videos then you don't want to miss out on all the video content. If you can have a list of supported kinds then you don't have to leave out all the apps that can readily support your post with no changes. For instance kind NIP71, 34235 and kind 34236 are fully encompassed subsets of kind 1. If a kind one app were to bring these kinds in they would display just as well with no changes. This means anyone choosing kind 34235 or kind 34236 need to make the decision to leave a significant portion of the ecosystem just to have something as simple as "preferential orientation". I can't see anyone wanting to make that tradeoff. So in practice most people will simply choose to crate kind 1 posts with video attachments as to not risk being ignored by most nostr apps.
