There was an event someone published using nostria (nprofile…dmep), and it disappeared. I couldn't understand why, couldn't find on any relays.
To my surprise, it came up in Amethyst (nprofile…5eyg), YakiHonne (nprofile…twc2) and Primal (they don't even setup their Nostr profile correctly so people can tag them properly). I wrote messages to the original author, explaining how perhaps Nostria failed to publish to all relays or something.
I even added extra logic to process system notifications to improve the retry-logic if publishing fails.
So, I copy the event on YakiHonne, to do Publish event inside Nostria.
Guess what? It had expired! The author had put on expiration on the event!
So, it's correct that relays wouldn't return it anymore. It's correct that it's no longer shown in #Nostria.
What is not correct, is how Amethyst, YakiHonne and Primal continues to render expired posts. That's not good, users should expect this to be respected.
A lot of time spent debugging this, only to come to the realization that Nostria is working just fine. That's good.
