For my peeps, apparently Amethyst is doing some things that screw up images or something, IDK since I use IOS, but the consensus seems to be that Plebstr is a great alternative on droid. Comments about it seem very positive so may be wort checking out.
That is the thing with Nostr, one key pair and your tribe is everywhere has advantages if a client app does stupid things. #grownostr Think about when Twitter does something stupid, you're stuck but here you really are free.
Checking it out now.
Played around with it for 5 minutes, couldn't even figure how to post a picture. I must be blind.
Definitely noticed a change the other day.
Seems to be a protocol or standards implementation.
for now you have to upload the picture to somewhere like nostr.build the copy the link and paste it in your reply or post. Like everything else Nostr it is a work in progress
Hey Jack choices are good. I worry about the ones that aren't open source though since they can't be audited by those that know coding. I read Plebstr is not open source. 🙁
However, Iris has an Android app and they are open source.
Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I use iris on the PC on the odd days I'm at home. Quite like it so if it's similar on droid I might swap between the two.
The thing with Amethyst is users now have 5 methods to upload pictures. If a user chooses the one of the lower 3, "more secure" options, images aren't showing up through many other clients. If they choose one of the top 2 options, everything works just fine.
Thanks! Much better.
A tip for #Android users with rooted phones: get Titanium Backup and use it to back up any app before you update it. Then, when a new version of an app sucks, you can roll back to your backup version. I've lost count of how many times this has saved me when an app developer breaks something or adds an "improvement" that is no good. I've even used it to help my IT customers a few times when they needed an older, working version of an app because the current version in the Android marketplace was broken (*cough*MicrosoftOutlook*cough*).
I think it only works on phones with root access, though, so it's not for everyone.
I appreciate the note, checking it out.
Is Nostros considered not a good client on Android? It's what I use with no problems.
