The more relays the better right?

Apparently not but I don’t know why 🤓

I’ve like 30 some relays. Most of them are free. Make sure you turn “read” and leave “write” on, so you don’t watch all the spam. You can do that on astral.ninja if you can’t do it on your phone.

Go to Nostrwatch for relay list or you can go to a profile and look at their relays

Turn off read*

what does that mean?

If you have free relays they’re fill with spam. But if you don’t have any free relays newbies won’t see your posts. The solution is to leave public (free) relays on and turn off “read” so it doesn’t show all the Chinese porn on your global feed 😂

I’d say it’s more important to have good relays than more. I only run these paid relays and have been really pleased.

what do you mean by paid?

Depends on the relay but the ones I use were one time fee of like 500-5000 sats. Pay ln invoice and they let you one. Cuts down on the spam.

If you login to Nostrgram.co they have a great list along with the cost. I’m sure there are other places to find good relays but nostrgram does a good job of consolidating them.

https://nostr.watch/relays/find is a map based directory of relays. Pretty cool
