If your phone starts getting warm its too many 😅
Keep it under 10.

Good to know.
I think I just have the 4 default ones that came with Damus.
Is 4 sufficient or too few?
Entirely up to you!
Try disabling all but one in your universe view to explore content on different relays.
Check out nostr.watch for a relay directory list.
So I guess that’s a learning moment for me…
Because Nostr is decentralized, it’s entirely possible, more like actually probable that if you and I are not running the same relays…
We wouldn’t know each other existed? Could see each other’s posts?
If that’s correct, then that is one benefit to a centralized solution a la X but we give up a lot of control when we go centralized
(I guess I’m just trying to understand why I would choose relay A vs relay B if they contain the same data)
Exactly!
Well, there are some galaxy brain dev solutions that can ask around which relays your stuff is found on, but yes. You are correct!
Wow that’s crazy to think I could have one entire audience on this relay but they be non-existent on another.
#asknostr Are you sure, that when you on only one relay, that may you can not be found from users that are not connected to this relay? I would assume this only means my notes are saved on this single relay and I loose all notes when the relay shuts down. But every #nostrich can find me still.
I don’t know hence the question.
But I will say I tried to input a company’s public key and their Nostr address into search (so I could find them and follow them)
They were on Nostr via parlay.net and they wouldn’t come up here…my assumption is not same node(s) 🤷♂️
I meant primal.net not parlay 🤦♂️
This is mindbuggeling for me. Would be great when a #nostrdev could clerify this question.
You guys are right - if I'm connected to relay a and you're connected to relay b we won't see eachothers notes, better to both be connected to a and b because then we can see each other's notes and if a or b go down we are still connected and our data still exists
That’s a little frustrating to say the least.
I know there is a relay directory but there are 100’s on there.
What are the top 10-20 I should be on to have the highest probability of connecting with others?
(The cool thing is in theory I could host a #business or #trading or #investing or #crypto only relay and isolate my audience and connections…but I’m totally against silos in #leadership )
