What's sad is I've recomended your client to a lot of folks and from what I can tell the only way to get a private closed group to work is by running you own relay for it. That key step is missing an explaination! At least Flotilla points to relay.tools to support the user. You've got no tutorial that I can find and your average user is going to assume everything is private when it is not. Trust broken!
nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 I'm looking at you here. Your claim is "Secure" and have ecrypted private groups. Why is it when I create a nip-29 closed group the messages are still visible to any random npub on Chachi? Why does it flip to public open when that was not what was selected upon creation? Why display edit options to chage the group configurations when they constantly flip back to public?
Extremely misleading!

This is the option that appears when creating a group. Private groups are encrypted, while open/closed groups are not encrypted. However, with closed groups, only group members can pull messages.
You can check out our GitHub homepage for more information on groups:
Additionally, in the next version, I will make sure to clarify the content encryption options when creating groups to prevent any misunderstandings.
Yeah, the Close Groups is what I'm highlighting as the issues. fyi, I discovered this issue while browsing Chachi groups and realizing I was reading other folks private messages. Went and tested this on my closed groups with a randomly generated npub and confirmed I could not only read but also join and write.
