I was told to cut back on my relays. I originally had like 15. Whatβs the right way?
Discussion
There is no right way. Look at who you follow and add relays they have to your list so you can interact with them and vise versa when they post notes.
Thereβs no 1-size-fits-all solution. All depends on your device, bandwidth and your expectations. Generally 8-15 is what fits most. There are some relays which read info from multiple sources and filter it, thus taking the load off your device, such as nostr.wine and nostrich.land.
My guide elaborates on that: https://lnshort.it/nostr-relays
15 is a good number. Let me look at which ones you're using.
3 is probably a bit too little. I like to recommend somewhere around a dozen. I have too many and need to nuke a few. I'm sitting at 20. They keep creeping up on you. Though, I'm not experiencing any problems so I may just keep it that way. Once I start having issues, I'll nuke it back down to a dozen or so.
