Nostr

Using nostr is great again. Since I use gossip as nostr client I got resilient. I very much like the concept of not being distracted from what I'm doing in the client due to permanent notifications about likes, zaps, boosts and replys to my notes.

#[0] I suggest you add a feature to Amethyst which empowers the user to choose the types of notifications the user want to see in the notifications tab. I think the current mode (display as much as possible as soon as the event occurs) is okay for the early days of nostr and may be still the desired mode for new users. But as soon as an users is shifting their social media desires to nostr, the current notifications is overstraining and might turn users away from nostr.

Interesting.. we already don't really display a lot of notifications... We only display when you are directly cited.

I'm running gossip and Amethyst in parallel at the moment. I really recommend you to have this experience on your own.

That's what I'm doing currently:

* My main focus is on gossip and my mobile is within reach running in the notifications tab.

a) When my focus is on gossip, I feel that I am really able to contribute good content/ notes and interactions.

b) When I look down to my mobile I feel distracted by thoughs like "oh, who is this npub which liked one of my notes and I don't follow yet." I click on this profile and get a feeling of getting lost in nostr. This usage type might be good for discovering the network.

Probably both is needed and the devices mobile + full keyboard are not comparable to each other. However my point is not to outdo one client against another or one end user device against another, but to have a possibilty to reflect ones own behaviour on nostr by using different clients WITH DIFFERENT NOTIFICATIONS CONCEPTS.

I do use gossip as well, but I thinking I am using differently. Either way, we have a thread on the forum with a setting by type of notification.

Thank for pointing me to the thread about this discussion we're having here. I couln't find the thread in the github issues by searching notification there. Where can I look after this thread? I'm interested to participate.

Here, it should work well for what you are asking for.

I know you made the Amethyst v0.21.1: Peace change to overcome the hellthread issue and I think it was a good decision to change the Amethyst notifications system to what it is right now.

I just can speculate how my todays notifications would look like with Amethyst prior to v2.21.1. ;-) I'm to lazy to install an older version currently.

Are you replying from Amethyst or Gossip? These replies are marking the wrong message as root.

alazne 2y ago

I am replying 100% from gossip at the moment. I'm surprised you are mentioning this wrong root of the replies issue. I have this issue normally on Amethyst from time to time. ;-)

However replying #[0] as a reply of #[0] was intentional. But I'm not sure which notes of mine you mean.
