Its a bug, I have a fix for it here:
https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/2190 will try to get it in 1.8
With Damus I don’t understand how can I see the the note replied to.
#damus nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s #asknostr
The SS below is from Damus and Primal. I entered my npub only to Primal and it is logged with nsec to Damus.
In Damus when I see a note that actually a reply to another note I couldn’t find a way to see the original note :(
In Primal it just shows the original Note above.
