> Why does the zap feature not show up in Damus until I’ve clicked on the note?

Damus has not cached that user's profile which contains the Lightning address to be zapped.

> Can’t I zap directly from the feed?

Yes

> Does the little lightning icon only show when someone else has zapped that note? How do I zap it if I’m the first one zapping it?

The zap ⚡️ icon appears when Damus is aware that the user can be zapped (ie, once that user profile has been fetched)

So are you saying I need to wait while scrolling until a user’s profile has been cached? How long does it stay in the cache then?

Thank you for your answer!

My feed is mostly users I follow so those profiles are already cached, but if you follow a lot of hashtags then you might be seeing a lot of notes from users you don't follow. Same with quoted or reposted notes > those notes might appear in your feed and the zap ⚡️ icon might not until the note is opened

Got it, I don’t follow any hashtags since I opened this account a few days ago. I switched from another one but I used to use Primal on that one. Was just trying Damus because of the Alby connectivity.

Somehow I’ve had a better experience with the zapping feature in Primal but I’ll wait a bit to see if the caching fixes these things.

Also, Primal can’t be used with an external primal wallet at all? Not too comfortable with depending on their wallet tbh

Well that wallet is part of their business model so 🤷‍♂️
