Use a local relay, db, or cache, to store your own notes. This is now really really easy.

Don't assume "free" relays will keep everything you post forever. They're an interim data store, at best. Paid relays are better, but you also have no guarantees and they might have legal requirements to remove things.

Any guide for non technical people on hosting their local relay?

Thank you!

I think I used these instructions and it seems to work.

I have it just running on localhost and access it over Nostrudel on Firefox like ws://localhost:8080

Android, just use #Citrine 🍋

You can also just use Citrine to download your events, even if you use Nostr mostly on your PC.

There's a "Download events" button, that just pulls all your notes from a list of relays. From the code, it seems to pull from your personal relay list, but I might be misreading.

I'm a big fan of this implementation, as a personal backup, just for your own stuff and a short whitelist of faves. It's got a nice GUI and integrates well with Amethyst (client), Amber (signer), and Orbot (Tor).

Use Citrine for Android. Very easy to use.
