we are at the extend until no one catch up stage of this meme I made back when Primal first launched
advanced search, custom DVM specs, etc
then kill off the independent nostr clients and you have achieved an influencer controller and funded echo chamber 
primal has some major bugs and missing features.... great app, but amethyst is better in every area but search.
Primal's advanced search functionality is definitely a step up from nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt. While I used to recommend nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds2g5zx8 to beginners because of its built-in wallet, the recent introduction of light KYC requirements in Europe makes that less of an advantage.
Imagine trying to make a point and then the other party sees you're using primal.
Betaaaaa
Excellent meme Semi š
I use primal. Iām on iOS. I value UX/UI. What am I missing. What are the bounds of my echo chamber? I have heard this before but donāt understand what it means to me as a user. If I scroll Damus and scroll primal. I see the same stuff. Help me actually understand this meme horse Iām riding around in?
With Primal, it reads from their centralized caching server. It can alter the content it shows you, not show you certain content, etc and you wouldnāt know
They are known to shadowban people from trending
It is a walled garden, with the doors open, for now.
I'm not sure it is on purpose, but none of nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 news bots show on primal currently.
I can't imagine why they would be censored on purpose, rather likely a glitch in caching that is removing them thinking they are spam.
Regardless, if Iām following them I should see them, right? My followed profileās posts should be hunted down at wherever the profileās posts are said to be broadcast to by the profileās designated relay.
Are you saying
- Primal app search results are among whatās cached on Primal relays only?
- I can only view notes that are cached on Primal relays, even if primal doesnāt cache notes from the people I follow?
Yes, if you follow, you should see them. This is not currently the case with primal. Likely a caching server issue.
I think search results use their cache as well, but not 100% sure.
Sounds worse than I originally thought. I tried Primal once, and got pissed off when they asked for name and address. WTF.
Nobody is forcing anyone to use Primal. I support Primal just as I support other clients. I use 4-5 different clients on a daily basis. Further, people will flock to good UI/UX so if other clients want to have a shot, maybe they should invest more time on it.
Welcome to the modern VC backed internet, where open source code and standards are hijacked to build proprietary, rent seeking walled gardens.
Just out of curiosity, what custom DVM specs?
I just like the visuals of Primal! š
people use primal? I must be in a bubble.
ā¦. And itās open sourceā¦ wut?
