Who wants gifs?

Anything other than a regular post, should if following the comment NIP, not use kind 1 for comments/replies. Unfortunately, there is still plenty of Nostr apps that uses kind 1 for everything, including articles and polls. #Nostria will now render a combined view of kind 1 (replies) and kind 1111 (comments). Hopefully everyone will upgrade to follow newer Nostr protocol soon.

@Scardust Official have some amazing music and they have been streaming life on Nostr for a long time. #Nostria has a great streaming experience, the media player integrates support for music, videos, podcasts and more.

Added ability to set primary wallet, which will be used for quick zaps. You can also transfer between your wallets, as #Nostria supports multiple NWCs.

There is currently some spam attacks on direct messages on Nostr, some users is receiving messages, each for different account so simply banning is not a good solution, neither is reporting. Each account is only delivering one message, so you can "Delete" (removes locally) the chats one by one, or you can purge them all from the new Manage Inbox dialog. Also added Web of Trust filter on the "Others" tab, helping you sort your inbox from non-following profiles. If someone does not have a rank score yet, that you have already chatted with, they will be included in the "0" rank score and not hidden. Watch this video to learn how it works:

Let's reach out to more musicians and get them published on Nostr!

Hi music lovers! We got a bunch of improvements for you: 1. Tracks listing on music profiles now sort albums together, sorted by track numbers and release date. 2. Songs on the main music feature are now listed by their released date if available, not by updated date. Make sure your tracks has a "released" date in the metadata, otherwise it will be listed by updated date. 3. Added support for duration on tracks, so go back and edit if your track doesn't have duration yet. 4. Listing of artists didn't load their avatars, unless the profile was already cached, now it loads the avatar correctly. 5. Listening: You can now see what other people on the Nostr network is listening to, at the bottom of Music page. 6. If you open music profile that has no albums, it will automatically show the tracks listing instead, one less click. 7. "public" and "private": If you're making a playlist (album) for yourself, make sure you uncheck the "Public Album" toggle, then it won't be listed in the public realm of album releases. While you are preparing to publish your new album, you can keep it private while editing, and then change to public when it's ready! 8. There are some older music events on the Nostr network that was different than the new protocol, added a backwards compatibility for those so they will play correctly now. Unfortunately some of the artists didn't use Blossom server but external hosting and those tracks are gone, not playable anymore. Thanks to @𝕳𝖊𝖓𝖗𝖎𝐤 𝕱𝖑𝐲𝖒𝖆𝖓. @𝖘𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖔𝖘𝖍𝖎 𝖙𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖎 and @Boka for feedback and suggestions! Keep them coming! You want to support the continued development of Nostria?

Want to see something cool? When you use #Nostria and play music, your status updates (NIP-38) with the song track you're listening to. This has been visible on the top of your profile for a while, you can also set a custom status text if you want. But now, on Music, you'll see what everyone else is listening to! Great way to discover new music! Let's hope the other Music apps on Nostr implements this, it's part of the protocol.

Here is how quick and easy it is to clean up your relays and find new ones to use, using #Nostria.

Dead relays is a serious issue on Nostr. It results in users losing their data, especially when there are few migration tools and clients doesn't automatically re-publish when changing relays. If you login to #Nostria now with a known dead relay, you'll get this notification at the bottom of the app: On the Account Relays there is also a very clear indicator if you're using a dead relay. I found @Bitcoin Magazine has a few of them... maybe time to update? Next quest is how do you find relays? That is coming very soon! Adding this to #asknostr if anyone wonder how to clean up their #nostr relays.

"The client that is going to bring the non tech people to Nostr, is @Nostria and it will be glorious." 💜🔥🚀 📝 e9a91ee9…

Here is a hot tip for you all. Nostria has local search, so if you want to find back to an event you remember, you can open search, choose "Local Database Only" and then you will find what you are looking for. I was looking for this post by @semisol but couldn't quickly find in the feed (15 hours ago he posted), but with the search, I found it quickly.

There is unfortunately a lot of users who have dead relays in their relay lists. Nostria has added filter for these in the app to avoid exhausting resources connecting to these. We also made a dedicated monitoring service that will monitor if they come back and to verify we don't add valid relays to the filter. Please take a minute to check your relay list, it will help everyone on the network if you keep an up-to-date list of relays. Check the monitor status here: https://monitor.nostria.app/ #nostria

Upgraded the Nostria Discovery Relay for Europe. It was a bit under powered and had some downtime. We're ranking up expenses on service infrastructure... At the same time, we're building a "dead-relay" monitoring service and adding filter in Nostria app to avoid connecting to relays that are no longer available. This should reduce resource consumption on your devices and improve performance and reliability on finding events.
