Confirm contact list creation during account creation

[alltheseas]

solution

We should only continue onboarding if we get a contact list creation confirmation from the server.

problem observation

I’m suspecting that some unhappy path damus onboarding leads to some limbo state where there is no relay list, or contact list

I could not recreate with two new test profiles.

diagnosis

This can happen if they create an account when they are not connected to
the internet. We should only continue onboarding if we get a contact
list creation confirmation from the server.

@ericholguin confirms independently an additional in person bug report

[alltheseas]

Bug reporter confirmed they have only used Damus, and no other nostr apps.

[alltheseas]

I am concerned that this is not a one-off, and new folks are dropping off Damus without having a chance to test it.

list creation confirmation from the server.

It can also happen if they are using an older key and it can't find a
contact list

Can one of yall grab this to the current sprint? The unhappy path here is a shit experience for new damus users. We have seen an uptick in new folks, and I dont want to keep scaring them off due to bread and butter stuff not working.

Thank yalls 🙏
