Amethyst Recap: the coolest new features in Amethyst's massive update today.

Amethyst now supports blossom media servers. That means, if you're running a #haven relay, you can now host your own media on your own blossom server. Just plug in your relay's URL and you're set.

Amethyst also included a new Around Me feed. This allows you to find content in your geographic region. You can find this via the feed drop down menu.

Lastly, Amethyst added Olas integration. The old stories/images/video section now integrates with Olas by using NIP-20.

This means if you post an image or video on nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75sprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4esdp32r9's Instagram clone, Olas, the content will show up on this section on Amethyst. And vice versa, if you use this section to post images and videos, they will show up inside Olas.

Several other features were added, but these three are my favorite thus far.

Very cool! We just need a youtube clone now

A Nostr YouTube clone was announced already in 2023:

Just in case you wondering where is the twitch clone: https://zap.stream

Dont forget that Amethyst blocks users from seeing certain people

WHO?! Please give me an example so I can justify deleting Amethyst!

Me lol

Many Amethyst users told me about this. The developer told me this morning to delete the posts that were considered spam. I have no idea when I was posting stuff that was marked as spam and what it was.

I'm sorry, no matter what I try I can't get my app to block you without manually doing it. Maybe it's because I'm using an older f-droid version of the app from Github? Is your npub in the source code somewhere?

I have no idea how Vitor did it but its been like this for a month or two at least. It think thats when all the replyguy spam happened

My phone sucks balls way too hard for me to try and link the post explaining it, but apparently Amethist is just blocking people who made the same post 5 times in quick succession.

Don't get me wrong, despite how skeptical I am in general, I definitely believe in these kinds of hypothetical weird targeted, passive-aggressive blocking. It's happened to me! Part of why I'm on Nostr actually...

looks very cool! imma get an Android

really? noted 👍

That’s pretty cool, like it.

Nice. Finally blossom support! I don't like to switch clients for that! Well done!
