As far as I know, that's just what primal does, no way to change it, if you can, let me know.
Discussion
it just fakes everything and it confuses me
would be great if it can be fixed
custom reactions are just the beeesssttt❤️🔥 why not adding them too, primal?
Try Nostur if you're on iOS. It's the closest thing to Amethyst. After trying them all, Primal is the worst. Testing it was like turning off 95% of Nostr.
95%?! Really? Seems a bit high...OR maybe there's a huge part of nostr I'm missing out on. Please inform if that's the case 🙏
Yeah primal sucks lol it’s not really nostr…
I've seen arguments related to the caching server, not all of which I can claim to understand, but my current peeve is much simpler - why only red heart reactions?
But now that I read this reply I'm curious if there's some hidden wonderful world of nostr I'm unaware of
95% may be an exaggeration. It's one of those things you just have to try. But just looking at what I can attach to a post here, I have:
- image from storage
- take a photo
- take a video
- record an audio clip
- zap split
- zapraiser
- content warning
- location
- hidden message in an emoji
- lightning invoice
Also, off the top of my head, in no particular order:
In my settings, I can access relays of my choosing with in-client Tor. I have full outbox implementation, trusted relays, blocked relays, NIP-17 DMs, public/private bookmarks, public/private follow lists, private mute list, follow packs, a photo gallery, a scrolling photo/video feed, ephemeral live chats, and group chats.
I can use any emoji or gif I want as a reaction, even ones I create myself. I can set zap amounts on the fly, or make a list of set amounts. I can zap publicly or privately, with two flavors of private zaps. I can boost or quote, with zap splits the default on quotes. I can choose where I want my images uploaded, or use my own server. I have a relay in my phone and a signing app, so my keys don't get compromised. Etc, etc, etc.
I don't know, there's just a lot going on, and I didn't see much of it anywhere but Nostur on iOS. I'm not trying to go point-for-point on all of it, just saying it felt like I wasn't really getting all that with Primal or Damus.
I was hoping to illicit this sort of reply, so thanks for taking the time! That's a lot more than I realized or even knew was possible. There are even things here I'd never heard about. Guess you weren't really exaggerating as much as I thought you were. It's pretty awesome, the more I think about it.
If you can find an old android phone, try the Amethyst/Amber/Citrine/Zapstore/Keychat combo for a while. It's a good opportunity to get a Pixel and try GrapheneOS, also. I was always an apple guy, but I got a taste of freedom with GOS and never looked back.
Side note, you should ask the lady of the yarn what she thinks of all this stuff, too. She has a different perspective.
Oh good, thought you were so far removed from iOS that you wouldn't relate to my reaction of "wah, I don't wanna learn a new phone and do hard things!"
Can't recall if I told you or someone else, but I got a second phone years ago to try out graphene and hated life. I approached it wrong, trying to be more super spy than I am capable, and I hear graphene has gotten way smoother since. I don't expect the learning curve is small though. May give it a try again though, feeling like it may be time very soon.
Thanks
Oh yeah, dude, I had the iphone 3g when it came out. Macs, ipods, ipads, the works. I watched the iphone keynote live. 👴🏻
I switched to GOS when it was HARD. Now it's just mostly...different. There are very few things that you just can't do in GOS now. And you have a guide right here if you need one. Pickle Dan is on the journey, also.
Yeah, taking to you and a few others (hi nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks ) increasingly making me consider it. Also reading a bit about all the spyware on Apple and Google (yuck). Lemme see how far I get with the ham radio thing before I take on too much, haha. Still got a few more good months left in this baby (10 pro) too
lol, same.
Nostur is pretty good actually. Primal is my main driver but after it started having problems with notifications I wanted to try something new. Nostur does it all, good experience so far!
