This is your periodic reminder to install Amethyst (and all other Nostr clients) through Obtainium instead of Google's PlayStore.

Just follow this video:

I have mine from f-droid ❤️

Question (newb) ... i also used Fdroid and find that I'll have random downloads wanting to initiate upon opening the Amethyst app... i always cut them off... is this normal??

hmmm, idk - I do not have that.... the feed loads automatically..

i am on version 0.76.0-fdroid

Was skeptical about this thing, but it turned out to be quite handy 😂

But #Amethyst through Google's PlayStore keeps existing right?

Always. But it's good to be independent from Google.

Why not F-droid preferred, please? Just curious. I downloaded from there.

Also curious about this.

Lest you don't notice... nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z. I beg your pardon, you know ... 🤐

Was unaware this was a thing. I will be looking more into this. I keep learning more and more from NOSTR than any other legacy option. Thank you

Video not showing on few posts on latest update..

Tengo una TV Samsung y me encantaría poder usar Nostr ahí, pero el navegador que viene integrado no me lo permite. Crees que sea posible?

One day...

In hindsight I should have put a lighting QR code at the end 😉

holy shit nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z thank you 🥰

Honestly I'm just really glad it's helping people get off the play store and staying up to date on the rapid fire release progress you make on Amethyst every day.

I use Obtainium for everything I can :)

It's the only way to stay up to date with all the latest goodies.

Been using obtainium for a few months now and will avoid play store as much as possible

This is the future of apps

Wow, we need that for bitcoin wallets especially

But who uses sha1? 😮 It has been hacked by google 10 years ago

I rip it off github apk. ✅️

So obtainium is some kind of app store? What does it do different?

It pulls the precompiled app from the project's official repo/home, usually github. No middleman.

This is cool, but amethyst is still very choppy for me.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 2

Yep, optimizing for these older chips is harder than I thought it would be :(

Do I need both Amethyst and Amethyst Notifications? Or is the Notifications app for degoogled phones?

I don't know what Amethyst Notifications is. There is only a Play version and an Fdroid version. The Play version has notifications and translations. The FDroid Foss version does not.

Oh it shows in the video when you search in obtainium for Amethyst nostr something under your name called push-notif-server... thought it was like the telegram notification service used on degoogled phones.

Anyway thanks for the info. Think I'll start switch as many apps as I can.

Ohh I see. The push notification is our server. You can fully ignore that.

The video is not there

It wouldn't install from Obtainium for me. But went smoothly from Google Play store..🤔

Why?

Freedom! :) plus you get the updates faster

call me paranoid, but I like staying a few versions behind on something that has my private key 😅

Fair enough. But now you can put your keys in Amber, which doesn't even have Internet permissions :)

YEAH! very excited about that 🙌
