i will say the following:

i hadn't used nostr since april, then went back recently. nostrgram.co had stopped working correctly and wasn't showing anything since april. i'd sent some messages through it as DM's, and could not see them on nostgram. i even tried on iris.

iris was showing new content from others, but i could not for the life of me figure out how to display 'likes', or 'replies.' it just appears now to be one giant amalgam of "favorites and replies and some mass of streaming posts from people all in one place." (i may be wrong but it looks like the dev broke it, and simultaneously tried to organize it better, but failed.)

i ended up remembering snort.social and that indeed allowed me to send new DM's and get a response.

so that's interesting.
