I’ve been on Nostr for 2 years now and I am still learning so much

This weekend I deployed my first relay for gifbuddy and stored an image on my own blossom server

It’s empowering to know that I have the ability to build a simple client, operate a relay and run a personal server

These are some of the core pillars of digital sovereignty

I may not be able to build something as big as Twitter, but I can make something that’s just for me

The beautiful thing is:

no one can stop me

Congrats! 🙌🎉🚀

Sweet.

PS - I finally got the Upload function to work on Firefox desktop - I just sent this one, please approve lol I'm tired of manually uploading it

Oh interesting, I don’t actually approve anything

Uploads should automatically publish an event that’s searchable here:

https://gifbuddy.lol/nostr

But you’re right, I’m not seeing it populate in search either

Let me see what’s going on with that and get back to you

No worries. Still playing with it. I'll try another

This one said something like Awaiting processing(or approval, can't remember, it was a very fast popup)

I think I fixed it

There was an error with generating a thumbnail image that was preventing the file from getting uploaded

Should work now!

Once uploaded, give it like 2-3 minutes and then it’ll be searchable on the Nostr tab based on the keywords you entered

Let me know if it’s still giving you problems

Thanks for the Quality Assurance Testing 🫡

lol you're welcome

PS - what do you mean by "searchable on the Nostr tab"? I go directly to the GIFBUDDYLOL site in the browser and search there. Am I doin it rong?

PPS - So does that mean I have to upload it again? The lazytown one I uploaded days ago isn't searchable.

Yeah, unfortunately everything uploaded between the previous update and last night wasn’t published

So it’ll have to be uploaded again, sorry

I'm not complaining, just checking

If you click the menu on the top left, there’s a page to “search nostr”

That’s where all nostr uploads will be

Gif buddy is great, I use it daily. Appreciate you!

I appreciate you, homie!

Thanks for using my app

If you ever have a problem or want a new feature, just let me know 🙏

I will definitely let you know but so far it’s been extremely smooth. Never had an issue with it so far.
