Hey #nostr friends! I’m currently traveling and I’m in another country. For whatever reason, #Iris cannot be displayed. So I decided to log into #Damus because I understand that your messages and followers are basically attached to your npub and not the client. Guess what? I see all of my peeps and messages using a different app! This is soooo cool! #asknostr

Hey, Elle. That’s the beauty of nostr. One relay can block someone, but the system itself never does. Just add a different relay.
I love it! It’s great!
Public/private key cryptography is cool!
As a mathematician, I LOVE it when I see applications of math in real life being used this way. It’s really awesome!!
If you traveled outside the US, chances are that Iris' backend got borked.
Basically, they use a profile cacher - rbr.io - with a regional subdomain. Even outside the USA, it will still call us.rbr.io, although it doesn't work. Happens to me here in germany too and thus makes #Iris entirely unusable to me. :<
Thank you! I figured it was blocked somehow. But I didn’t know the technical aspects.
Welcome to #nostr. Feel free to try also nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, my favorite web client for the moment
Thank you! Will do!
