Periodic reminder that your relays see absolutely EVERYTHING you do on Nostr. Regardless of which Client you use. They literally see the app downloading zaps, replies, and reactions when you scroll your posts in real time.

So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that you TRUST THEM with that information.

Nostr is just like a browser. The server has to know what you want to see to send it to you, and that gives them the power to track you and see what you are asking for. There is no way around it.

I can't stress this enough.

And that is why I don't use #Primal : requesting to sign messages at every UI interaction doesn't feel right.

It doesn't request signing on just browsing, but yes it does sign app settings at intervals which is annoying, especially when what is signed is actually an empty JSON. Interactions such as posting, reactions, etc. always has to be signed.

What other nostr apps do you use? Is there one that is more like Instagram and less like Twitter?

I use Amethyst (can display short notes feed and media feed) on mobile and Nostrudel on desktop (browser) because of its versatility and clarity about relays interactions.
