This is because Primal is incompetent and uses 4 letter media URLs. Every time someone uploads something, there is a chance it will overwrite another image. At 1 million uploads, any upload has a 1/14 chance of overwriting another.
Your images are not on relays but on Primal servers.
Use nostr.build which also comes with proper media optimization so that you don’t waste mobile data when viewing them.
This issue has happened to others for a while now. They did nothing about it.
This seems like a good reason not to use primal lol
Ugh, but they got time to release a bunch of other stupid features. Such misguided dev.
I'm going to start disrupting these clients. We need better stuff. I'm almost done this disaster house project and cleanup. FML.
PS: So Nostr.Build serves kind of like a Nostr equivalent of Imgur/Imgbb? For lack of a better comparison?
Yeah. And it has a reliable CDN, media management, optimizations, etc.
Ohh FFS nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg Can you guys get your shit together?
That's crazy. Thanks for explaining nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj.
Ya I added them via Primal. So they don't even add pics to relays? But to centralized servers?!?! And is the post text at least added to relays or is it on their in-house servers too?
I'm trying to understand how the pics would be retrievable by other clients though (which they are), if they're hosted on Primal servers... Some kind of bridge?
This is one thing that's really weak about nostr these days. They're just images on primal.net you link to and other clients load them from there
