Nostr Web Client

So interestingly I have installed Oxchat. I can see replies etc for Nostr on Oxchat but not on Primal anymore….. what’s up with that? 🤷‍♂️ does Nostr only ping one app? Some replies I can only see only on Oxchat and not on Primal for some reason as well. Do I need to add more relays to primal? I’m confused. I’m sorry If I haven’t replied to some people.

so, you are likely experiencing an issue with there being multiple messaging standards in nostr at the moment. Primal uses an older version of private messaging that is, well less private. 0xChat is made to be as private as nostr allows, and uses a more recently created, more private version of messaging.

but, this more private version of messaging does not appear in clients that only support the old messaging version. So, it presents a problem in nostr that, currently, there are some apps that do support new version of messaging, some do not. its unfortunate tradeoff of the newness and open source development that supports nostr.. The hope is that eventually apps only use newer, more private messaging version.

ill,also say i dont think 0xChat receives the old messaging standard, but i might be wrong. In any event its likely the reason you are experiencing a difference between the two apps.
