That's why it's so important to build our own communities, isolate ourselves from the madness around us. Takes time to bootstrap these communities, but it will eventually get there.

Before of this, I used daemon tools all the time back in the day. I'm sure there are plenty other software that is infected, and always consider every single closed-source software to be infected due to the government regulations in many countries allows covertly forcing employees to put backdoors into their software.

Bookmarks section in Nostria is primarily for events and addressable events, but the NIPs also support adding "r" for external resources, which Nostria supports. It's different structures and the "web bookmarks" within Bookmarks is just the URL, not extra metadata, while the new Web Bookmarks (called Social Bookmarks in Nostria) has title and descriptions.
Sorry for the confusion there, maybe I'll have to remove the capability to add web bookmarks in "Bookmarks", since Amethyst and likely other Nostr clients doesn't implement this support.

Amethyst had an old implementation of bookmarks in previous version, latest is updated to work similar to Nostria.
I see latest Amethyst has both Bookmarks and Web Bookmarks, Web Bookmarks is likely the NIP-B0? Nostria does not implement this.
"Websites" in bookmarks on Nostria is "r" tags, part of NIP-24. I just made an edit of the primary bookmark list in Amethyst, and it did not affect the "r" tags, didn't remove them. Though adding a website to a bookmark list in Nostria, won't appear in Amethyst at all, since it's a different "thing".
Did an improvement with live refresh of bookmarks in Nostria, so when you remove or add any bookmarks in another client, it will instantly reflect that if you have the bookmarks open. Released in the web app, will be included in next native release that comes tomorrow.

Read aloud narration has been greatly improved with more performant Text To Speech (TTS) models in #Nostria. Works on Feeds, Threads, Articles and profile Timelines. Optimized specifically for the different needs. More tuning yet to be added as this is a work in progress. Starting the "Read feed aloud" will begin where you are in the feed, not from the top.

AI within #Nostria is still a work in progress, but added some new models and capabilities. Fixed an issue with WebGPU on the desktop app so it works well on Windows. Linux and macOS probably needs more work, don't have machine to test that right now. WebGPU can be disabled in the AI setting so it falls back to WASM, which is slower, but workable.

It will also take some time to understand where our place in the world will be. For example I never write posts or replies on social networks when I write for other people - except of course some marketing material, websites, etc. Value of something is a combination of what went in to it, and how the receiver values it. If it was generated by some electricity, it's often not worth more than the electricity. Me writing this right now, cost a lot more than that.

Though never accept regulations, "ensuring houses looks nice" is just an excuse they give you, not the real reasons for regulations. Any if any regulations is allowed, it's just a slippery slope to total control. It should be up to agreements with your neighbors, that's enough.

The delete itself in Sunami and Nostria is basically the same, has to either be that the delete not being sent to all relays that the music was on, or perhaps some relays have issues with "k" tag on delete events? @nprofile…pz5f doesn't set "k" tag, but the NIP-09 says it "SHOULD" do so, but I highly doubt that is the reason.
Also if you delete a music track, for any existing user that have the music cached, they must open each track individually and then it will disappear from their album.
I'll implement some logic in the future sometime where it will go through all cached music and attempt to retrieve any delete events that exists for them and remove from cache.
There is still a a couple tracks that does not disappear fully Henrik, they appear in both Sunami and Nostria, I will send the IDs to you in a DM so you can delete those too.
If some of your delete tracks still is listed in Nostria on your device, just open their details page, wait a few seconds while it gets the delete event and this should appear, and it will be gone. Understand this is frustrating and slow process to clean up locally, will get better in the future.

Just be careful out there. I don't have much advice other than if anyone has a job, hang on to it.

2026-04-12 21:29:03 CEST

There has been a lot of large lay-offs in the IT-industry recently and I believe more will come. The market for individuals looking for jobs will get harder and more difficult. I'm currently looking for a job and I was almost scammed just like the guy explains in this video (in comment). The scammers is extremely elaborate, creating realistic looking social media accounts, with AI-generated content combined with real content. Their websites and descriptions is perfect, no flaws like the silly spam e-mails we're used to getting. They combine real profiles with fake content, tricking people who are getting more and more desperate for opportunities.
Spent last year building an amazing social network app, @nprofile…m0xe, that I'd love to turn into a SaaS for enterprise/business. Next version adds a feature rich AI chat with local and cloud inference. Though I can't do this alone anymore, so I'm looking for potential partners. If anyone is interested, reach out to me.
Doubt that will happen, so I'm still looking for new job opportunities (remote), focused on product manager, development lead, developer experience - I have very extensive experience on AI/LLM that I can bring into your organization, combined with wide industry experience and developer competency.
Either way, be safe out there - the scammers will only get better, make sure you explain this to your kids, family and colleagues.

Remember Mixer? Microsoft attempted to buy Twitch, got a no, ended up buying Beam, renaming it to Mixer - throwing millions at big streamers to move over to their platform, only to shut it down with massive losses.
The bandwidth costs is the real issue for decentralized alternatives, though I think it can be done if we make some easy to setup software and have people open their firewalls and host it.
Nostria will do live streaming (stream from your phone) as soon as I have a provider for cheap TURN server.

There will soon be fully packages for Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and iOS for Nostria, and not just "web-shells" that are installable. That also means native Amber (local signer) support is arriving soon.

Perhaps, I just checked it out now. The "substrs" themselves is not created by signing anything, created by the service?
When posting creates kind 1 posts with a few non-standard tags such as "c" (which is supposed to be git commit id), "type" and "poll_results"
Is Communities (it's like Reddit) not a better option, which is a standard NIP and it can be supported by multiple clients?
Some clients has also started doing a new community type that is simply based upon a tag, while normal communities allow moderation and relay selection. Nostria will probably add support for that as well soon, so you can just choose "Moderated" or not.
I don't think the "substrs" are published as Nostr events, so would need to create the "substrs" list using queries for events where people have posted in them, not very optimal.
What is it you would like to see?

A good start is to go through GitHub issues that people have already reported, it's an abandoned graveyard with nobody from your team responding.
When there is no engagement, people stop reporting. Last time your closed any issues on GitHub was 49 days ago.
It makes you feel not appreciated, when taking the time to write a proper bug report and absolutely nothing for months.
My first issue created on your repo is from april 21, 2025. Not a single reported issue have received any replies from your team.
On one of my issues, someone (not from Primal) created a pull request. It is still open, no replies from Primal.

It's probably not reading the 10040 kind and applying filter for scores based upon the public key in that event? It's the event that users publish that configures their web of trust, if you just read that and use the public key correctly from that event, then it should work.

Ok thanks for sharing, I'll give it a go on an older Android phone I have. I noticed you have 13 relays, with the outbox model you really don't need more than 3-4. By having 13, everyone who likes or replies to you, is publishing events to all of those relays. It will be better for you and better for others if you reduce the amount of relays.

Liberstad is currently updating website, so not much information available there right now: https://www.liberstad.com/
Here is a quick introduction to Montelibero: https://montelibero.net/en/
The official site has the most information, there is an auto-translate option here from Russian to English: https://montelibero.org/

I think there is many younger developers who want to get some credibility, and I understand them. But with the capabilities now with AI, it's much more valuable for someone to create a well written issue, better that the core maintainers run AI on their own codebases than third parties.

Let's not forget that there are many running private relays, private communities globally, there is a lot of relays in Japan that blocks IPs outside of Japan.
There will never be a true metrics for usage of Nostr, which is exactly the way it should be and it means it's working.

It is what you can remove of features that matters, not the amount of feature you can add.
Though it's an important balance, without enough features it's just useless. Most other Nostr clients doesn't render proper content in DMs, they just support very basic text chats. Users expect better, nobody will migrate from Instagram chat if they can't share photos and videos in chats. One of many examples.
I am still churning and burning, focusing on optimizations and user experience is my number one priority at the moment.

Thanks for using Nostria Signer!
What doesn't work about the zapping?
When you zap, your Nostr client tells the Lightning provider where to send the receipts. If this is not done properly, the zap status won't show properly in clients.
Do you never see money withdrawn from the wallet itself?

In one week from today, @nprofile…m0xe is one year old. I have almost 8000 contributions to GitHub, majority of those is on #Nostria.
https://mibo.eu.nostria.app/14eb5893e05297e7164927c826180ca6751d8db6910c5c79786eef8fe090afbe.webp
Since 2020, I have made more than 1000 open-source contributions a year. I got into open-source in 2012. Last year was obviously boosted by the ability to use AI, which is incredible.
Though AI is not healthy to use. It's an addiction, you get a productivity boost that is just too much. I probably should be spending more time posting on social media as oppose to building Nostria, to get more adoption and exposure. Up late every night to add yet another feature, is not sustainable.
The rat-race is real, spending extremely late nights churning and building is not healthy in the long run. Especially when all of this effort goes towards value for others, with little value in return. I do appreciate and love every sats I've received, though much more has been given away than ever received. ❤️
Before Nostria, I built Ariton - Community Super App, months of hard effort that was dead when @nprofile…3r3l's Block shut down TBD.
I had to pivot, started building some small apps, then went back to my Blockcore Notes - a Nostr client I built way back in the day. Not maintained over the years, so decided to build a new one, and then Nostria was born.
I had a hope that people would be willing to pay for premium app and services, and maybe they are, but I'm delusional to think I can be successful by simply building something great without proper marketing resources.
No other Nostr client comes close to Nostria in rich features and capabilities, that doesn't help when nobody knows about it. There are so many minute details that you don't notice, which makes it delightful to use. People who start using it, love it, which in turn I love to please by getting feedback and improving. I'm so grateful for those who have been early adopters and given incredible feedback that has for most part been integrated into the app, and the services that Nostria provide.
Last two years I've worked exclusively on open-source, mostly by burning my own savings. First building Ariton, and now building Nostria.
Most of you might not know this, but I founded @nprofile…6hgp, a free city in Norway, together with my friend John. I'm also active in @nprofile…5v05, which is similar free city project in Montenegro. That is where my true passion lays, yet I have not been able to do as much as I really wanted to. My goal is that Nostria will be an important tool for all free cities, because these places is where something like Nostr and Nostria is truly needed. We're building new societies where government services must be replaced with voluntary solutions.
"in a crypto-anarchy the government is not temporarily destroyed but permanently forbidden and permanently unnecessary." - Wei Dai
Very few people can predict what the future holds. I have made many predictions in my life and many of those have come true, yet with AI, the consequences and changes is very hard to see. Even when you know what is coming, most people will ignore it because the realization of the potential consequences is hard to bear.

I took this photo today, such incredible beauty just around the corner, yet as the nerd I am, I don't get out enough. It's because I'm caught in this race to have success, to create something that matters more than the electricity cost of executing an AI model.
I don't think I can participate much more in this race against the machine.
My CV was impressive, my experience in the field of software engineering is very deep and broad, yet all of that is worth much less today. 28 years of professional experience, combined with years of computer skills, programming and graphics design before that as a young kid, reduce to the cost of electricity and accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
I hope I have brought some true innovation to Nostr, there is a lot of true innovation within Nostria, many unique experiences to be had by those who dare to venture deep into it.
Go out, touch some grass. Thanks! ❤️

It shows music that has been published to Nostr. There are many clients that supports this protocol and can both show and upload the music. Nostria supports importing your music RSS feed from Wavlake and other services.

You never explained it to begin with, so you didn't do it again. Thanks for clarifying.
There will be plenty (spammers, stalkers, attackers, bots) who will send 21 sats for friend requests and the advertisements will be in the profile names and profile pictures. Also will be a lot of fakes, attempting to infiltrate friends lists. Many will succeed. Many will loose their private keys to scammers. Those people will "call the support center". Did you know that a large part of Facebooks ad revenue is from scammers?
Mitigating these things costs a lot of money.
Nobody is willing to pay the actual cost of the services they use. Everything is subsidized by VC money or ads.
Exactly what you want has already been attempted, "Lotus" it was called. The only difference was that you could set the cost of your inbox ourself, which would be better than a fixed 21 sats. The concept is that if you are attractive for some reason and people want your attention, they will pay more. You can also make it 1 million sats, but you "pay it forward" or "pay it back", depending on the scheme.
So your family already knows you, so they don't have a problem sending 1 million sats in a friend request to you, they know they will get it back.
This exact concept has already been done in traditional social media apps, I don't believe it had any long term success.

It's easy to make what you want, it won't be Nostr-native, but it will use Nostr identities (keys) for accounts.
Spam-attacks (friends requests) can still happen, but can rely on Web of Trust to filter out, giving a similar experience as Facebook/X.
For what purpose though? Why not use Facebook instead? Building this, won't be decentralized in architecture, as you "can't" have decentralized and private at the same time.
Could build it on Nostria, but I doubt there are any market for this (people willing to pay or revenue through advertisement with few users is worth little) and I would just be providing yet another service for free.
What are your thoughts on the financial nature of such a social network?

I agree fully, except relays using the Nostr protocol is a good solution for this, I think you just misunderstand what I'm communicating.

Nostr became popular because of "dumb" relays, Nostr using centralized gate-keeping relays defeats the original ethos of Nostr, and just makes it a very bad protocol (due to all its issues) to use for such purposes.
I fully understand the desire to have a Facebook-style locked down experience, the way to do that is not through filtering on who is allowed into a relay, but what a client decides to load.
Nostria does client-side filtering for threads, there is no problem doing a filtered query that relies on your following, or following lists - which will give you partially what you're after, though doesn't stop anyone from seeing the posts and photos. I could implement a following list with a known "d" tag which is your approved Friends list - which you populate only from friend request DMs. I built a social network on decentralized web nodes (Web5) a couple of years ago and that relied on an incoming friend request event. I might just implement this in Nostria when I think of it.
Nostr is not a privacy protocol, some people believe that. It's an extremely leaky protocol and there is nothing anyone can do about that. It's a decentralized and distributed protocol.
X became popular because it reduced the jumps from you to anyone in the world, to 1. You could engage directly with anyone without needing to be "accepted" first. You could get response from people who you found interesting, people who you normally would never be able to get access to. I wrote a lot about this in a blog years ago. It is the primary difference between X and Facebook.
This is also why Nostr became popular, developers could build code that published events without anyone needing to accept them first. Nostr would never be where it is today, without this.
NIP-42 (Auth) came almost a year after the protocol was first announced by @nprofile…cy6q. NIP-70 (Protected Events) just two years ago. NIP-70 is just a tiny little hack to reduce spreading events to the major relays, it doesn't add any real privacy or protection. Anyone with access to that relay can in a few minutes publish everything to the public. As as you mention, it's not really possible to do private on Nostr and if people want that, they should use something else. Implementing a new protocol based upon Nostr identities for this purpose, can be a very good idea and is fully possible to do.
This can be solved on the client and that's the only place it should be solved. Attempting to solve this on relays is going down the wrong path, it's attempting to use bad tools to achieve a goal.
Pure spam is a different topic and relays need to fight that, and it's a hard challenge. The person responsible for fighting spam on X has basically capitulated few days ago and said from now on we're all toast.
Just as you can't stop anyone from talking about you in their own home, you shouldn't think about stopping someone from commenting on your posts, instead the mindset should change towards not retreiving those events to begin with. You can ask the relay to not get what others are saying about you, or to you. It's like avoiding going into your neighbor's house if you don't want to hear what they have to say about you. You can choose to not go there, but you can't stop them from talking about you in their own home (I don't consider each home to be a relay, but a relay is the neighbourhood or the world, we share the space, just as we share the space on a relay).
Private group chats is the only way to do private on Nostr (until Marmot Protocol becomes more widely available and used). If people want to share photos of their family and kids, they can do that in a private group chat.
What people post, they should consider public. The legal system (not that anyone should care about that) in many countries even considers private groups as public, talking bad about someone in a private Facebook group, can get you in legal trouble as it's considered public. These centralized apps reduced the consquences, at least before, to tedious data gathering done by humans (screenshots, copy-paste), on Nostr it's super fast due to the protocol to gather all the data. With AI tools, this data gathering from "private" groups is going to be even easier.
Implementing a "Friends only" mode is a good idea (as long as it's not considered a "private mode"), the protocol does support it, but it requires to reason about the protocol in the right way, as I have explained above. Though of course, it does not stop anyone from seeing your posts (and media).

Nostria has a good media library where you can manage it, including delete.
I really hope all clients stops using the listing APIs on media servers, even if it's enabled on the server. The default setting for the software should be off.

I feel you bro, hope it gets better.
I'm in a similar situation, had to quit my job due to moving. Did apply to a few jobs, never went anywhere. I have been telling friends that they should do what they can to keep their jobs now (as software developers). Don't even consider changing jobs at the moment, just hold on as long as possible because it will get bad.
The worth of a software developer is the electricity cost of running AI. A lot of other professions will down the line suffer, but my industry will be hit hard.
