Behavior in damus

[Semisol]

I believe the root cause is Nests has a bug where it puts an encoded npub in the p tag.

What's the best way to fix? Get to @derekross and @v0l attention?

Can you submit a PR @Semisol ?

@fiatjaf who is the dev / maintainer of the nostr dot com list restore tools?

The user submitting the feedback here is saying the restore tools do not work in his case.

the presence of an npub could fail a filter in Damus, which we can fix, but I don't see how the whole list could have been nuked.

[jb55]

but yeah should definitely add some tests for bad data in lists and see how that affects things. I could have swore we parse that out though when creating the filter...

[alltheseas]

Btw, side note that might help with troubleshooting.

I now understand what the blank notes are because I saw it glitch once.

The blank notes are not “missing data”

It’s a rendering issue, all the objectives that should be in the blank note will be render outside, like on top of another note for example, or outside of the view.
