Replying to Avatar Goody

I just saw that. I'm fairly new to the whole nostr thing but I can can say I AM LOVING IT! I love it a lot. I currently don't use those two services anyway. I like Primal mostly and use Yakihonne now quite a bit. I need to start reading up some on relays and best practices. Is it good/bad to have too many or too few relays? Is there a way to test for a "good" one? Those sort of questions I'm wondering.

Well....if you use ditto.pub or poster.place, it fetches TO/FROM many relays for you. If you use many relays on your client, it will use more data/power/battery to download from all those relays and process the data.

If you can use a super relay like ditto.pub or poster.place (spam-free ditto), you will be better off especially on mobile. Most relay admins do not do a good job fighting spam for their users like I do so using many relays will make you see all the spam

Ahh ... that would explain why I used Primal on my cell phone a good deal while away from wifi and since I don't pay for unlimited, my data ran out QUICK! LOL ... I'll try switching these around as you suggest and see if that isn't more efficient

If you are concerned about high data usage, turn off video auto-play in settings in Primal.
