Hey guys! Did you ever experience losing some of your DMs on Nostr?

I mean full on conversations being deleted.

I thought Nostr was censorship resistant.

Never

Something something regarding relays

primal.net has so far been the best for me pulling data regarding the DMs

It’s censorship resistant but it’s up to you (or better yet, your clients) to make sure you have enough data redundancy

Not sure how to do that but I lost a few. Can somebody from the backend delete them?

A relay admin can delete the anything from their own instance.

If you know the npub you lost a message history with it should be fairly trivial to check a bunch of relays to see which has a copy

None of mine have deleted or can be deleted. Perhaps it depends on the client you’re using?

When upgrading apps sometimes it seems like I have to re-tap/look at conversations to make the notification go away.

I noticed a few times whole days or strings would be gone and the notification wouldn't go away.

But usually quitting the app or restarting my phone bright it all back🤷🏽

Change relays? Could be relay related. Never lost a DM, but would recommend using caution using DM for personal conversation.

iirc damus has a known bug around loading old/many DMs. cc nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5

Hmm not sure until I try but I believe so. I’ll look into it and try to find a solution though.

🙏 turns our op is using another client. Still worth checking

Thanks Ben but it's not Damus. But good to know

You could try logging in with an another client

Not me. What client are you using?

Recheck your relays.
