I called many friends on #nostr and they also joined, but now they are not active on it saying that too much data is being consumed on Nostr.

That’s because of the relays. The more you have the more traffic you have.

You could advise them to use a more selective set of relays. That should help.

Or they could use it more on wifi, like I do. I don’t want to pay for all that mobile data.

This. Also usually on WiFi.

I'm down to 6 relays, now, because I include two broadcasters, and I'm building my own broadcaster, so that I can get down to two (my broadcaster and filter.wine).

I'm down to 2,6 GB/month, now, from nearly 15 GB. Aiming for 1 GB, eventually.

Also, turn off downloading images, hyperlink previews, and vidoes when not in WiFi.

Good stuff!

What do you mean?

Seriously! 80gb in a month?

Yeah 😂 usually in the 60-90 range 🤷‍♂️

Amethyst is brutal. Only use it over WiFi, otherwise Nostrudel.

Few clients have low data mode

Check out my new free relay we can use more peeps on it!
