@npub1ufl…4hh2 this is an awesome feature. I’m a big supporter of having multiple settings and @npub1n0s…k6h0 does it all.
Because there are so many settings, I still haven’t tried them all - but that part of the appeal!

New update for iOS App of Plex (2025.16.0)
Seems like they are working fast to plex to fix all the bugs and “return” all the features from before.

What is a good solution for Ad-blocker on iOS?

You’re part of the minority that actually stands out. It’s like trying to block your house from Google Maps — and ending up with the Streisand Effect.
If you really want to block Plex from communicating externally, Pi-hole can help with that.
Yes, Jellyfin is a great alternative — but think about the bigger picture. If you're using it on a Samsung TV, you're relying on their App Store and TizenOS. On Apple TV, you're probably using Infuse. Even if you're committed to data sovereignty, there comes a point where the battle isn't worth it. That doesn't mean giving up the war — just recognizing that there are many other ways you’re being tracked.
As for Plex selling streaming data for ads? Personally, that doesn’t bother me. First, I use ad blocking. Second, ads don’t influence my purchasing decisions. That’s where self-control comes in.

2025-05-03 19:05:53

- reply

And the client that you watch Jellyfin doesn’t?
Plex has lets you turn off any data collected, granted you have to trust if they follow through but that applies to all devices we come in contact to.
Nostr clients could sell your data, your phone, isp, browsing the internet and the list goes on and on…
You can only do so much to limit. The only way to stop is to not use any of these devices at all - live that TRUE off grid life.

2025-05-03 18:56:05

True but there is no reason for me to switch to Jellyfin as Plex gives me all I need. I’m not getting anything new by switching. I would only setup JF to try it out.

iPhone users—how do you store your photos?
Locally on your device, or do you use a cloud service like iCloud, Google Photos, Synology Photos, Immich, or Dropbox?

For power iOS users on Nostr: Yakihonne and Nostur are the way to go.
I've tried both, and they offer a ton of features and customization options.
Yakihonne lets you post articles, create polls, and share videos.
Nostur feels like a Twitter clone, but it’s more expressive—it has multiple notification types, relay visibility (you can see which relays your post went to), a loading indicator, and even a neat feature that lets you edit your post for a few seconds after hitting "post."
That said, Yakihonne has some UI drawbacks, at least for me. The layout is a bit of an eyesore—the font doesn’t feel consistent, the color scheme makes things blend together, and overall it just feels cluttered.
When it comes to the Explore page, every client does it differently, but none quite match the experience Primal offers. Others come close, but issues like slow loading or lack of content make them harder to rely on. With a social platform this new, discoverability is crucial for user retention, in my opinion.
One thing both Yakihonne and Nostur get right is relay management. You can configure each relay to read, write, or do both—totally customizable.
At the end of the day, these are just my two cents on using Nostr clients. I know things will improve, but I’m glad to be riding the wave early—before it hits the shore.
*forgot the mention: Nostur lets you clear cache, a huge issue for iOS apps.

Did it work, clearing the cache?

2025-04-11 20:43:19

There is a feature deep in the settings to clear cache in Damus.
There is also another iPad app called "Nostur". It has more settings especially for clearing cache and a low data mode.

iOS is so “sEcURe”, it blocks any competition. I wouldn’t doubt that the biggest roadblock to Nostr is Apple.

After using all three, I have to agree. The only thing I really like about Primal is its "trending" feature—that’s it.
I’ve been asking a lot of questions because I know others will eventually join Nostr and have the same ones. I want to inform myself so I can help reduce any friction they might face getting started. Part of the reason I’m doing this is because I know some of my friends might get involved too—so I’m learning for them, as well as for the people I meet online.
Personally, I don’t mind testing different clients, dealing with bugs, or waiting for new features to roll out. I know that puts me in the minority, but I genuinely enjoy helping others

That’s tough—I totally get the struggle of wanting to do something but not having time for it because it doesn’t pay.
Your FAQ idea sounds great and it might be a good idea to post the FAQ using the # asknostr hashtag, hoping people will find it or it becomes popular enough that others start redirecting to it whenever someone asks a common question.

Anyone knows why different clients don’t all show the same “stats”?
I posted “GOOD DAY NOSTR” and received 2 likes.
Damus shows 2 likes
Primal shows 0 like
Nostur shows 1 like
What could cause the discrepancy?

Or there never looked up how. There should be a pinned comment or something that everyone who asked that question can go to.
I know I struggled looking for answers related to Nostr. I would use reddit, forums and even twitter.

You can actually zap on Damus with iOS. This website runs a script that lets.

Nostur lets you connect your wallet yet I can’t zap any one. 😔

On the Nostur iOS app, it shows the link preview but not on Damus or Primal.

There are a bunch of Nostr clients on iOS, and figuring out which one to use can be a bit much. I’ve been trying out Damus, Primal, and Nostur—each has its own vibe, with some hits and some misses.
Here's what I’ve noticed.
- Damus has a sleek UI and well-structured settings, but its Explore feature is weak.
- Primal is clean, with solid search and a useful trending Explore page, but you're tied to their wallet (unless on web), and the feed uses proprietary caching.
- Nostur offers deep relay control and customization but has a steeper learning curve due to its dense interface.
My current iOS rankings:
1. Damus
2. Primal
3. Nostur
Nostr is still early, but I'm optimistic. Just wanted to share my first impressions.

I’m good with using outbox relays.
Do you have a website with a list of relays?

Do you mean that you tried Damus and the wallet didn’t work so you moved towards Primal?
