Is there any reason to keep a smaller set of relays instead of a larger one?

I suppose spam reduction is better if you only connect to paid relays that offer spam reduction?

I would like to hear some reasoning about this too.

I have performance issues on Damus if I’m connected to 25+ relays. App freezes and general sluggishness. Also, you consume a lot of data. The more relays you have, the more data will be consumed. It might become an issue on mobile

Yeah if you don’t have unlimited data plan

Really? Damus consumes lots of data if you have more relays?

probably a bit yeah

In practice, most relays don’t seem to add that much content. I doubt it makes much of a difference.

Just adore owning better ideas and definitions.

I'm still new to this, but would it possibly limit the content you see from certain people you follow?

(E.g. if they're only on relays that you aren't following, I'm assuming you won't see them or their posts?)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just getting started with Nostr on Amethyst

I'm connected to about 5 relays and all of them are paid. I do it to avoid spam, obviously.

Does anyone know why I often get “unsafe site” warning notification when I’m on Damus

#[2] I would also like to know this?

But he did say that is a complete guess lol

9-14 seams to be a happy place with a mix of paid and unpaid…..more on the paid side. Paid has upped for me over the last week….@bradmillscan how’s the jet lag? ⚡️⚡️💜🧡⚡️⚡️
