Ok, that makes sense, I forgot about threads. I think an intermediate solution then would be to enable /private just for local lite client (i.e. compare sbot's whoami with the local key id). I'll update the PR.

It would be nice for lite clients to work on pubs, but I think I will defer on that for now. Private messages could come from the cache but that would only work if they were loaded during the current page load. I think the full solution would be to index the log, at least for thread backlinks, and save the results in localStorage.

@ev 2 happens with remote lite client but not local? I wonder why...
