It seems these pubsub services become a single point of failure in the distributed system

I'm not sure if plebbitapp.eth.limo works well at the moment, and it hasn't been in development for a few months so the bugs probably won't get fixed.

the clients that I think work well are:

• https://seedit.eth.limo
• https://plebones.eth.limo

the clients that might or might not work (but are currently in development) are:

• https://plebchan.eth.limo
• https://t.me/plebgram (telegram based, not browser based)

also the pubsub providers are only needed in the web version, the desktop apps and mobile apps don't need providers, they can do full P2P (though the mobile apps full P2P isn't implemented yet). The desktop version can be downloaded on the github release pages https://github.com/plebbit/seedit/releases/latest

also the providers are similar to any cryptocurrency RPC, like metamask also doesn't do full P2P in the browser, the user is interacting with a provider from infura.io, and this provider can be changed in the settings on plebbit as well. the reason the plebbit providers suck compared to metamask providers is because we are using cheap servers and our uptime monitoring isn't good, we plan on improving this soon

the community is very active on telegram https://t.me/plebbit if you have any questions

Thank you! Yes, seedit works great.

My friends and I are working on a new ENS/IPFS gateway:

https://eth.sucks/

We made some modifications so that it can handle /ipns/ and /ipfs/ requests too, in addition to functioning as an equivalent to eth.limo:

https://seedit.eth.sucks/

Handling /ipns/ and /ipfs/ requests for seedit:

It has optimized caching rules specifically tuned for semi-dynamic content on IPNS.

very cool, the more gateways the better.

Handling /ipns/ and /ipfs/ requests for seedit:

that's great we could add it to our list of ipfs gateways for fetching plebbit data
