Ooooh, is it bad to use a ton of relays? haha
Discussion
It can make things slower if you have too many and will make your data usage go up. I wouldn’t recommend more than 10.
I'll have to fix that immediately lol I thought piling on as many relays as possible was a good idea
Amethyst says I'm using 57. I think the "limit your relays" advice might be outdated, or client specific.
Also I see you listening to PLEXX under your name haha
Aye 🎉. The nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg mobile app broadcasts the songs you’re listening to to Nostr. You need to enable that option in the settings though.
One client said I had 50 or 60. No lag.
if you have fast internet and good hardware, might not be noticeable. i don't see a good reason to have that many relays though. if you want your notes to go everywhere, you can just add the blastr relay wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com
My Internet isn't fast (I download and watch later rather than attempt streaming), and my phone was free with my cell plan two years ago.
This accumulation of relays is from various clients. I wouldn't know which ones to remove, so fuck it. I don't notice problems from it and have a very modest setup.

Haha. Yes... nostr:nprofile1qqs0pt98v7pa9ph46uekky5g3r6a70efncr3jul27ql9yqy3mn3nqmspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejql50dd2 in January 2023 I had 40+ relays and used 10GB of mobile data in 5 days 😂
More relays equals more problems, but less reach. With the Outbox model, which not all clients support yet, clients will do more he ay lifting and pull notes down from relays of the people you follow. You won't need to share a common relay to communicate with someone. This will also drastically enhance decentralization. Several clients support this and more are moving towards it sometime this year.
Yeah for your data plan if not on WiFi
