So, this is interesting. I have multiple posts going back over a month or more that I made via npub1nz64zngcqm8vj8nhrdkcjpfwn2rcaqysnxec88tqfclp5afrpglsqm0w5y (npub1nz6…0w5y) that have never shown up in npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg (npub12vk…pugg). Also, I was receiving zaps that I couldn't find the origin of. Opened Amethyst - a whole bunch of notifications on zaps, likes and comments, none of it ever showed up in Primal. It was similar with some stuff going Primal -> Amethyst.
I've been sitting on my username over on Bluesky with 2 followers for 8 months. In the last week that's ballooned to 100+ followers, all of them music friends/colleagues, fleeing the X dumpster fire. What most of them seem to want is an *old* twitter replacement, that simply works and has their tribe and connections, whichI totally get.
Even though I'm extolling the virtues of wavlake (npub1yfg…v6vg) over there, realistically, Nostr itself just isn't ready yet. These are working, professional musicians/songwriters, not developers or tech geeks. They don't have the time or brain space for "relays" and "nips". And I suspect that's the case for many fleeing X.
I think VitorPamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) might be right; pushing apps instead of protocols might be the way. Abstract the backend away, unless you actively want to tinker. But if a bunch of your posts, likes, comments and zaps aren't populating across those apps, that's a UX nightmare that will drive users away.
At some point, this stuff with smooth out, but we're absolutely not there yet.
