It seems to be a Damus issue. Damus still uses the super old positional tags (deprecated last march) and ignores markers that were defined on NIP-10. The same NIP defines the marker "mention" to be used in quoted notes and not a `q` tag as Damus expects. Because it ignores those markers, it renders as a reply.

THE PLOT THICKENS

Known issue. Bounties always help. https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/528
OK, I’ll read up on this a bit. Can you describe what the fix would accomplish and how these notes would appear once implemented? Would Damus display them as true standalone notes with the quoted note positioned underneath?
The fix would make Damus display and post quoted notes (i.e. event mentions) and replies to threads consistently with the other clients per the NIP-10 preferred spec.
Yes, in theory, Damus would be able to display a true standalone note with the quoted note positioned underneath. A note like that would have a single “e” tag with the “mention” marker. It would not have any “e” tags with “root” or “reply”.
I’m in for 50K sats to get this prioritized.
Always appreciate a bounty as an incentive and signal to the devs how important an issue is.
For context we have had 6 and 7 digit sats bounties open for over half a year.
I’m not bankrolled like that. I guess just keep it in the mix until it can be done, but it’s a core part of the UX and I think not should be a priority fix.
Just setting your expectations. Not asking for anything. Appreciate your continuous feedback 🤝
Why is no one claiming them or contributing?? I’d like to look at what i can do -
Yo nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m you wanna get in on this big bounty?
I still think q is cleaner. When using e tags and markers clients are forced to pull down quotes when pulling the thread, which is a waste of bandwidth.
But yes we can filter them out using markers, but clients should be doing the right thing here and not wasting peoples bandwidth by using q tags
Oh, I never thought of it that way. That’s a good point. Has anyone proposed this as an amendment to NIP-18?
