Wow ! I had some DM messages on nostr and they are gone! How does it possible?
Discussion
Did you change relays? They are probably on one of those relays still.
Smart
Definitely I changed the relays but then it’s kind sucks that DMs actually being lost in limbo 😬
did you use normal dm or giftwrap ('private mode')?
Some people want to make DMs more private by relays sharing them only with the participating parties which would make mirroring impossible unless the participants themselves mirror them.
I've been pushing against this since a long time but the trend is more and more towards events not getting mirrored much so you better find the relay you used back then and the relay better still be in business or else ...
I also against this ! Doesn’t make any sense ! I needed those DMs and now I have no idea to what relays I been connected few months ago cause I don’t keep track of them!
I see a business model in helping people out in your situation. Relays that store all the events and when somebody misses events, they can get them there. Or when you unfollowed all your follows you get your prior state for a small fee ...
Make sense but gotta find out what relays I had before to extract it. Is it possible too?
relayable.org does backups
nope nvm, wrong kink
nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f knows better here 😊
I guess his service back ups all of the public notes but not the DMs
ooh never thought ab that distinction actually.. wrt backups.. does it matter? it's just another note, but encrypted..i guess
but who am i lol, we'll hear it from iefan when he wakes
It also backups your DMs data, and of course, the content of DMs will be encrypted. You can re-broadcast those events, and once the relay has those events, your client should automatically decrypt them, and you should have all your DMs back.
My DM gets mixed up when switching from Damus to Primal…
