You sound a little frustrated 😅
There is a learning curve, but I think you’ll start to see the value over a short period of time.
You’re only using 3 relays, so you’re not getting the best experience yet. Let’s get you on some paid relays and make sure your global feed isn’t reading any spam.
Everyone here is willing to help!
Totally. I suggested some of my guides. Hope that helps.
I was told to cut back on my relays. I originally had like 15. What’s the right way?
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.
There’s 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.
