Haven’t posted about nostr on nostr for awhile so here’s some thoughts.

I’m currently splitting my time 70/30 between two clients. Damus and primal.

The majority of my time is spent on Damus because the notifications are better. I often feel like I’m missing stuff over on primal.

That said anytime I need to zap I go over to primal. This affects my zap behavior because I end up not zapping while I’m casually scrolling my feed and zapping more infrequently. I make up for this by doing larger zaps when I do zap.

Also anytime I want to upload a video I have to go to primal. Not sure why but video uploads always fail for me on Damus. Photo uploads are fine though.

I also enjoy primals 24 and 48 hour trending feeds. So I try and check in with those once a day.

I’m sort of split on if I’m annoyed having to use two apps, I think it’s fun as an early adopter to continually try out new things and see the differences, but overtime I’ll probably pick one and stick to it.

Primal seems to be working for me so far. But only a couple days in 😂

I like your note and also split time between several clients. I'm always looking for new clients all the time to try them out and see how they work.

Yeah i can see replies on danus that never show up on primal..

Primal for me is better! I deleted Damus… not sure why I can’t see ZAPS on the computer whilst posting and looking at stuff #bitcoin

I'm a fan of amethyst global and primal for day to day following feeds

The trending is a great feature. Really good way to quickly scroll some interesting things.

Just deleted damus. Will stick to primal. Agree with the notifications, it’s a little blurry on primal

negative. primal deviates from spec a lot by introducing remote caching and filtering. Damus is more adherent to spec. both worth it.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s is there still a script for zaps on iOS?

I use Damus on iOS and primal on laptop. Zap on Damus but not on primal.

Thanks for confirming I’m not crazy. New to Nostr, and I was under what’s. Damus shows way more notifications.

Have you tried noStrudel? I really like it, but I must admit that Primal does have a "sleeker" feel.

I used to split my time between Primal and noStrudel but have been using noStrudel way more.

I use Primal when I have to upload a picture on the go.

Haven’t tried it yet but will

Once you go NoStrudel there is no going back! Power user move right there

Zapping from primal. Recently went nostr only and the wallet integration has me a zapping addict.

I hate to admit it, but Primal is quite far ahead in both performance and overall enjoyment while scrolling. For me, a downside of Primal is that I have to use their built-in Lightning wallet which also requires an email. Or is there an alternative for that? Right now, that's the only thing preventing me from going Primal full time.

Primal, Damus and Nostur for me.

primal and amethyst here, both great clients

Very happy with primal. 🫡

Why don’t you zap from Damus nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs ? Have you tried the zapping script (using TestFlight)? It works a treat for me. I’ll zap you just for proof! GM

On Android I actual prefer Amethyst

Same here because damus has a ipad client but primal not. Primal curiously present images and video always correctly sized (but using half the screen on the ipad and vertically 😭) where damus sometimes cut the top and bottom. Difficult to make a choice but crazy good that both work together

I also jumped between the two until I installed “Nostur”, this is now my favourite. Zapping is easy, just need to change an emoji in the settings and the notifications get split up in different categories. I also enjoy the interface. I connected a Coinos wallet, so I can zap in app.

yeah Nostur is the best, blocking people actually works for me and the following tab doesn't show other stuff to me.

Damus means you have an apple phone. Are you gay?

Yes I’m gay

I've just joined. Getting use to the environment. Follow me if you want.

lol

This is beautiful. Nostr is all about making connections and building your community.

That’s a bold opening gambit.

Go hard or go home!

Gotta try em all 👌😀🤙

Get Android.

I’m about the opposite in terms of time. Prefer the feed and zaps on primal but there are some accounts that don’t show up so head over to Damus for those.
