Did the reply bug get fixed?
Reply bug?
Good job 👏
We still haven’t implemented a feature for users to get notifications from thread replies. Currently, users will only be notified when replied to directly.
Primal.net keeps freezing up. What am I doing wrong?
When multiple photo upload?
Still can’t buy sats
What’s the problem? It’s been over a year. This is a basic feature that literally makes primal unusable.
@primal @miljan
@MAHDOOD we do have plans to implement an option like this, however this is not a basic feature. Also, seeing as most users would rather only be notified when being replied to directly, this is not a priority for us.
Please stay tuned for future updates that could potentially carry this feature.
When NIP13 POW?
Can you please elaborate? What do you mean freeze? We’d love to help you with this.
Soon! Currently the only way is by dragging and dropping multiple photos into the editor on Primal.net
This feature is currently unavailable. Please stay tuned for any information regarding our store.
It loads but when trying to navigate on it stops loading other pages like profile or notifications. No idea why
Or clicking on like nothing happens
I’ve tried safari or brave all the same
Ok damus has it already more than a year😅 But I use primal for my travels and often upload more than 1 photos so its enjoying one by one😅
Wouldn't it automatically update my Android App ? I mean do I need to reinstall ?.
If you downloaded via Google Playstore, then yes you can update without needing to reinstall.
This is not on our roadmap at this time
2.5.17 👏👏👏
I'm still unable to sing in ("something went wrong, try again later") with either nsec or with Amber. Works with another npub created for testing but not with my real one. Propably related to fetching profile info etc.
This response is total BS and is starting to seem like an excuse to just not fix the reply bug. Primal keeps shipping new features and funding shirtless men to advertise this app but it doesn’t even work properly. I literally can’t have a basic conversation with people in a small thread (3 or more people). Do you understand how much of a problem that is? Right now, if a mobile primal user responded to this note, you will NOT see it in your notifications. Why wouldn’t you want to see that? The reply could say something critical of your update and you’d never know. Someone is jumping into the conversation with all of us. That’s the point but you’ll never see it if they’re a mobile primal user. You’ll see it if you’re using damus or another client. I usually have to tell new primal users to switch to damus so they can actually engage in threads. Because we’re not all influencers, we want to see all notifications addressed to us. And if we don’t, we just mute. When they switch, it immediately improves their nostr experience. This is how people grow their follower base and find new people to engage with so they don’t have to go back to X. That’s the point of talking publicly on nostr instead of just jumping into DMs. Why would you have a conversation out in the open if you don’t want to see other people’s replies? Primal mobile literally degrades the nostr experience. Do you understand that? People join nostr on primal and think it’s dead then leave. Well maybe they wouldn’t think nostr is dead if they could see their damn notifications! And if you’re getting too many notifications, you can just hit the mute button.
Mobile primal is the only platform I’m aware of that doesn’t support this basic feature. And yeah I know hellthreads are a problem but this bug was here before those threads became an issue and the easy fix is to just mute the hellthread. Not mute normal notifications.
And who are these users that don’t want to be tagged in a 3 person thread? Most primal users have no idea this is a problem and it’s what makes primal unusable as a standalone client. I miss countless notifications on primal. I can’t use this client anymore. And you guys lose plenty of users to other clients because of this. I know because I have to explain to primal users that this bug exists and that it’s on the list of things to be fixed that never gets fixed. They’re shocked to know how many replies they never saw and they end up switching to damus or another client. If you guys want to retain users, this issue needs to be fixed immediately.
Also you guys have been telling me that this issue will be fixed for close to 2 years now and I just don’t believe you guys are actually going to do anything about it. I really like primal and wanna keep using it but this shit is not usable. And these little AI features and new influencer studio setups are not good enough to overcome a basic bug.
Primal gets a lot of shit from the nostr community because you guys do some unconventional things but I’ve always defended primal because I think we’re all on the same team trying to grow nostr. But I don’t appreciate being dicked around. If you guys aren’t going to fix this issue, then just say so. You, miljan, and Odell said this was a priority issue that was going to be fixed. Now you’re saying it’s not after nearly two years of me asking. Stop wasting my time.
I’m deleting primal until this gets resolved.
Nice update, no issues so far. Web-app still needs some love, though 🥰
AWESOME! 🫡
Long reply threads are the bane of Nostr client devs because they're hard to implement, but I do believe that people would like to talk to the people taking the time to respond under their notes, even if those replies are nested under the direct replies. And if a sub thread really is uninteresting, to be able to mute all replies under one of your replies would be godsend.
But if Primal's primary customers really are just legacy platforms influencers, then I can see why it's not a priority. Those users typically don't want to talk to their followers, but would rather farm the engagement and the zaps. Who cares if they're not notified of people having conversations. Those aren't valuable to the influencer except to run through an AI to gain some sentiment metrics or keywords.
It should be a priority.
Been saying this for nearly 2 years and they tell me it’ll get done but never does. Now it’s not a priority lmao. The irony is that he won’t even see this note because, you know, it’s not a priority lmao.
THANK YOU
Anyone else not seeing the transaction list in the NWC Wallet? Bug or feature? 🤔
Hey! Did you just remove the option to repost a repost? This is inconvenient. 💔
@primal
hey
@MAHDOOD first off thank you for all your support over the years. secondly, we really appreciate your detailed and passionate feedback. we don’t take it lightly, and we will act on it.
as for the issue at hand, i wan’t to clarify that the current behaviour is by design. we simply don’t support notifications for 2nd+ level replies. this was a a product design decision on our part. it turns out that many of our users disagree with that decision. we will prioritize adding this option in notification settings, as well as a separate option for live notifications (raised by other users). we are going to try to add these in the next update.
thanks for your patience, and keep the feedback coming! 🫡
Anybody reporting frequent crash and forced closes on the iOS app? Been experiencing that regularly since the update before this latest one.
AFAIK, no.
Does the app close in response to an action you do? Are you able to reproduce it?
Unable to reproduce it. Happens randomly while scrolling, happens when expanding a note. May possibly be related to the app loading media while scrolling.
> May possibly be related to the app loading media while scrolling
Yes, that's my suspicion too. Thanks for the report, we will look at crash reports and try to get to the bottom of it.
I've been having tons of crashes in Primal on the android version recently
I like this design feature....I have Damus and the notifications on there are sometimes a lot when I get involved in certain threads. The beauty of Nostr is it's interoperability that gives users the choice to choose where they spend their time
Thank you for acknowledging this
You could also just add the option to keep notifications the way they are or show all notifications. Most people prefer to get comfortable with a certain ux and just stick with that client for most nostr things. Optionality of nostr clients is great for keeping nostr decentralized. I’m not a dev but this is just a filter option and shouldn’t be this difficult to implement.
@miljan @primal @Marko tagging the devs because they wouldn’t see this otherwise
Maybe you’re completely unaware of all the naked women on here? Probably
Naked women on nostr? Never seen that before
Woof 🐶: Ima retired #Army and I’ve seen more naked women on #Nostr than in my entire combined career.
It’s imperative you understand women and men typically shower separately in the military.
Did you take your meds today?
Ima drinking coffee. Meds?
Yeah I recommend anti hallucination or anti psychotic meds
Why would I care what some online random recommends? Genuinely. I reply to you with all honesty and kindness and you come back with false recommendations for whatever ** perceived ** medical issues you believe I have.
1. Do you know what I did in the #Army?
2. Why would you?
3. Or are you just a bad troll? 👿
You’re the online random here who replied with a bark telling me about naked women go away lmao
Got it. You take * KNOWLEDGE * as a bark. Apparently we had a communication issue. NBD , from me.
1. I’ve taken on some of the most powerful men in the world.
2. You ain’t shit in my lived life world.
That’s clear , right!
Looking forward to this update!
Hey
@Kip Ashlynn have you noticed these crashes on the latest version published today?
I have not noticed any crashes today, but also idk if I have the latest version does it automatically update?
You'd have to do the update from the app/play store.
Ok I just updated 👍
Nice, I would love to see the desktop app function more like the web version
Can I remove the Livestreams from the top of the feed now?
That's really the worst part about primal at the moment.
I'm mostly using other clients for that reason.
If I want to watch livestreams I'd prefer them be under a tab or something instead of playing in the background wasting all my data.
Request Delete, as if. 🙌😄
Sounds good to me. Thank you!
Delete repost saving my life rn
Feel the same. Often again reposting helps engagement
I recommend switching over to Jumble. Hasn't crashed once in the weeks that I've been using it. It also has a great feed curation system.
There’s also damus android, its super stable and fast, just lacking features.

Damus
A new social network that you control
Working on getting on the appstore as we speak
Tried it. Not my cup of tea. Sorry🤷.
Any feedback so we can continue to improve?
A relay tool to help curate feeds, like the one Jumble has, would be GREAT!
yeah relay feeds are a good idea, we will add this
And a Tor feature like the one Amethyst has would be great as well.
Sounds more like a bug than a feature at this point.
Yakihonne much better for nostr OGs and newbies 🤙
It looks great but I don't have nsec bunker on iOS so it's a risk I'm not comfortable with at the moment. Will definitely try it when I move to android.
ahh, it has a web browser app too if you looking for a primal alternative 🤙
Oh I didn’t know that. What’s the link?
yakihonne.com :)
Hey
@MAHDOOD , we heard you. Check out the latest update… we got the notifications you asked for 😉
Hey thanks for following up. It still doesn’t seem to work on my end. Settings have replies to replies on by default already too.
You using Android, iOS or Web?
iOS
Hey
@MAHDOOD , just so that you are aware, these new notification types will only appear for notifications you received after upgrading to our latest build.
If you are still missing notifications, please provide some examples and we’ll look into them
Do you prefer screen shots or the note IDs?
Either works! Thanks
It seems to be inconsistent.
The first picture is from damus. Those 3 reply notifications are completely missing on primal.
The second and third pictures are from damus and primal respectively. They show that some replies in the thread show up. So it’s an improvement but not sure what else could still be wrong.
The last picture is from yesterday on primal after I talked to you. I was seeing a lot of double notifications like that. I’m not entirely sure why it does that but I haven’t seen any double notifications today. I think the way primal tags users in replies is different from other clients and from mentions. It seems like nostr differentiates between reply tags and mentions. Idk if that makes sense. There is probably another term for that but it was something I noticed a while back. My guess is the fix is related to the way primal tags and mentions users in replies. I noticed that primal npub tags are longer than damus. That is possibly what causes the issue.
