was really hoping my notifications would load in primal 2.0 but alas this is beyond current technology. really like the reader feed though, I want that in damus.

Yeah for some reason my notifications are much more accurate in Damus. Idk why but nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg is always missing notifications in comparison.
It’s pretty simple why. they depend on a centralized server for all their stats and feeds, we do not. damus will always work, so people can use us when primal goes down. We will reach the same level of ux with a more robust client architecture, will just take a bit more time because it is much harder to do.
rock on
But Primal should still be collecting the data, right? Like SOME of the notifs arrive. Just not all.
Do you think there is a place for centralized indexers at all? I like the idea of using them and then falling back to client queries if needed
maybe as a last resort thing, like if local search fails to find results.
I would probably rather just let the client crawl and look for stuff instead though.
Why no reels feed?
what are reels
Very short videos in Instagram are called reels. Just like tiktok videos. The button looks like this and are videos only. Would be very cool to implement, would attract younger people, definitely.

In the search button, you you click on it, you get the feed with photo posts and the search button in top of the window.
I use both.. but Damus notifications just work!!
nostr:npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc missing notifications in Primal. Use nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s npub as test case
Thank you for reporting. Notifications are going to become much stronger in the coming future.
Yeah, the reader is cool!
