Oh you have it there now! You're set. I would still recommend dropping a couple more of the read relays. You will have a smoother experience.

As far as using many clients, some do things different or better than others. Some do completely different things all together. fevela.me is nice for browsing a single relay's contents, as if it is it's own mini social media feed. Yakihonne does that well, too. If you're uncomfortable hopping around between clients, I'd stick with the one you like until you get a bearing on the way data moves around. You don't need to change your relays every time you visit a new client. Those settings follow your profile.

Well for now I want a place/way to reliably find my messages. Preferably using yakihonne.

Right now notifications of new posts by people I follow are legion. No replies or messages yet.

Where is my profile stored?

And can I change that?

If I change it on one relay will it replicate? If so. How?

I'll ask from and see what it comes up with.

Your profile is like a tiny file of only your most basic info. It exists on many relays. Firstly, your write relays. When you change your profile information, the old copy is discarded, replaced with the new, and broadcast to many relays that do the same discard/replace procedure. When you log into a client, it goes searching the network for the most recent copy of your profile that matches the key you provided. I kind of think of npub as a file name & nsec as the key to access the file, if that makes sense. That's probably not quite accurate, but it's the best analogy I've got.

The more you interact on the network, the more relays end up with a copy of your profile. Things work more smoothly if you use nostr regularly. Relays are just servers run on individual computers, whether it's me with my little vps or a big company's servers, so no one is beholden to keeping your info indefinitely. Old data, unaccessed gets discarded & such

I just need to figure out a good list of relays.

And not all of them do everything and I don't really know which nips I need.

I'll read some more tutorials and work on it next year.

I hope you had a good Christmas.

Happy new year!

oh good, thank you and happy holidays to you as well.
