It’s pretty simple why. they depend on a centralized server for all their stats and feeds, we do not. damus will always work, so people can use us when primal goes down. We will reach the same level of ux with a more robust client architecture, will just take a bit more time because it is much harder to do.
Yeah for some reason my notifications are much more accurate in Damus. Idk why but nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg is always missing notifications in comparison.

But Primal should still be collecting the data, right? Like SOME of the notifs arrive. Just not all.
Do you think there is a place for centralized indexers at all? I like the idea of using them and then falling back to client queries if needed
maybe as a last resort thing, like if local search fails to find results.
I would probably rather just let the client crawl and look for stuff instead though.
