I don't know where to post this but since nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 posted on how nostr was big relays dependant I tried using only small relays but I'm having a lot of issues :

- profile info missing

- missing notes (some of my follows notes were completely out of my feed)

- big latence to fetch data (notes appear suddenly in my feed or profile info updated after at least 5-10 seconds)

I don't know who could be interested in that feedback. Feel free to tag people in comments.

Here's an example on #bitcoin (I use amethyst)

And on nostr chats it is even worse :

The relays I use :

Of course this will happen if you use a client that doesn't do outbox model.

I guess all this mess was not correctly explained.

Yup, still looking for an ELI5

Well, who needs the outbox model anyway? Embrace the mess and let chaos reign! #nonconformist #rebelmindset

nostr:npub12e8zrykjcn0nxgjvzhtc0ngpwt7gcln20t7k00xrlr35gltktxqsuxre7a use one of these nostr clients that support NIP-65/Gossip and you'll have a better experience with small relays, because they can intelligently find the relays that contain the missing pieces from profile info, notes, etc.
