TIL about #Nostr –

Your relay list is distributed **to your relays**, so if you have few connections, you might not even have the whole list of relays that you configured.

I was having some trouble connecting and despite having spent a lot of time making a long custom list of relays, I found that my configuration was only showing ~4 relays again.

However, after I connected to a few more relays manually that I recognized from the public list, the entire list I had previously configured was suddenly restored. (jumped from 7 to 35 instantly)

Just something to store away in your brain if you ever find your settings, connections, or previous configuration is gone or has been reset... you might just need to connect to some familiar relays to have it restored.

This makes me wonder why those 4 relays that you had left in your list had apparently failed to save your entire relay list?

Same, but at least the problem makes more sense. Maybe it was just a delay in delivering all relevant information, or there was a timeout when requesting that particular piece of data? 🤔

He used several clients so that may have messed things up. *How exactly* would require proper analysis.
