Subnostr

Are people having smooth experiences on #damus or other Nostr apps?

95% of stuff works well but I still get:

- delayed notifications

- only partial thread views / threads slow to load

- delayed DMs

It doesn’t seem specific to any one client - no single client has a flawless experience for me yet, so perhaps it’s more of a relay issue?

I love #damus btw

I’ve started to become a bit paranoid that I’m missing a notification, DM, etc.

So far I’ve been using #damus on mobile, #iris and #nostrgram on desktop

I’ve paid for and use #eden and #nostr.wine relays

Is it just still early? Is this the nature of a decentralized protocol? Is it all dependent on the relays?

I would recommend adding filter.nostr.wine especially since you paid for wine! (See here: https://filter.nostr.wine).

But…that likely won’t solve the issues you are having. Thread tracking can get messy because some clients implemented it differently. It’s improved though over time imo.

Notifications (local) are brand new and pretty buggy, wouldn’t sweat it.

Delayed DMs is a weird one. You might see the alert late but you should get it right away if you are querying for kind 4s. I’ve never had an issue w that on Damus.

Thank you! Awesome I’ll check that out!

I think I didn’t see a new DM because it was in the requests tab and not the messages tab, and I forgot to check it.

I also got a notification for a new DM today but I think it might be a month old, because I haven’t gotten any new DMs from that user in weeks. But my conversation with them started way before notifications on damus was a thing

The request tab is problematic too, although I’m not sure what a good solution is either since DM spam will be a thing eventually. I always miss messages in there.

Glad I’m not the only one ha

Yeah I think it will be very useful to keep requests separate. I have already gotten 1-2 spam DMs.

The reason for posting about this stuff today was just to see if others were having similar experiences, so thank you for sharing! I’m sure new versions of clients will find clever ways to address these issues.
