Your content is fully visible on Primal. Everyone can see your tread replies and people who follow you see your content in their feed. You have exactly the same level of visibility on Primal as you do on all other Nostr clients. Please let me know if that is not the case. Be specific about where your content is visible on another client, but not on Primal.
I really enjoyed this conversation with @preston.
Given Preston’s audience, my goal was to talk about the virtues of Nostr, instead of simply shilling Primal. I hope we’ll see some new faces around here as a result of this pod.

I am not aware of any nostr clients that don't mention Nostr, but this was a bit of a dilemma for us when crafting the messaging and UX for new users. There's a cognitive overhead to dealing with two things: "What's this Primal thing? What's this Nostr thing?"
We decided the cost was worth it and leaned all the way into Nostr messaging.
My Nostr predictions for 2024
Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:
1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.
2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.
3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.
4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.
5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.
7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.
8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.
9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.
10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11. @ODELL will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
Anyhow, GM ☀️ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻
Hey @541, let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this.
If you are *only* using Damus and the Primal web app with your nsec, and your relay list is getting deleted, then one of these apps is deleting it. Note that if you access any other Nostr web app via your browser extension, that app is also theoretically able to make changes on your behalf. Please confirm.
If you are able to reproduce relay deletion via the Primal web app, please let us know which exact action you performed, and we will try to reproduce this on our end. FWIW, I use the Primal web app every day, as well as Damus occasionally, and I’ve never had this issue.
Hey guys! Yes, we can mitigate this issue on our end. Next builds of our iOS and Android apps will handle this scenario. I expect both updates to be available next week.
Thank you.
We love Damus though. In many ways Damus is still ahead of Primal. I think we motivate each other to keep getting better. Nice to see how much both apps have improved recently. Great momentum all around on Nostr. 2024 is going to be lit. 🚀
Agreed, we need a better approach here. It would be nice if the user could choose topics of interest. Also, there needs to be an easy way to discover interesting new accounts. We'll work on that.
Primal for iOS v1.1 is now live on the App Store.
Everything should be faster, smoother, and more reliable. Hope you’ll enjoy the shiny new image viewer. Please let us know if you run into any issues and what you would like to see in the upcoming releases. Enjoy! 🤙💜
