Periodic reminder to setup your DM Inbox relays on Amethyst.
If you don't have it setup, you are probably missing DMs from people that don't happen to use the same relays as you.
You should choose up to 3 relays:
1. If you want push notifications, one of them must be public, like nos.lol
2. If you want to make sure only you can see your DMs, inbox.nostr.com and auth.nostr1.com are good options. Our Push Notification server can't even see your DMs if you use this services. So, add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.
Welp. Private messages relays are almost all paid
As they should. Supporting DMs is not easy. If the relay is free and without constraints, they will be selling your data for their profit.
All this relay stuff is confusing but I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it.
I deleted the DM relays because I didn't think I needed it. I didn't realize until recently that I needed it.
I'm starting to think I should just start my own relay but it's not an easy task managing a relay.
Oi, Vitor! O UmbrellOS tem um relay de Nostr. É possível criar um relay de push notifications com ele?
I can hear people ditching other chat paradigms to run to Nostr now.

I had that setup already and saw DMs that I wasn’t seeing on Damus.

Does a user have to be on the same relay as a DM is published to in order to get the DM? Is this what the inbox relays solve?
Thats what the DM inbox relays do :)
Thanks man. But from an app perspective, the only way to ensure a user gets a DM is to publish to one of their relays?
Yep. That's how the protocol works.
it's not obvious though; once it's explained it is:)
Here you'll find some hints for Amethyst:
