Struggled with primal and damus all day. Couldnโ€™t load replies, feeds and it was sloooooe.

I find when I donโ€™t have 5Gb of good 4G the experience kinda sucks.

3G - good luck lol.

When on crap WiFi it also sucks.

Will this always be an issue coz Nostr is different internet infrastructure to centralised alternatives

Try reducing the number of relays you're connected to.

Longer term clients will need to get smarter about this. Some interesting discussion here: https://youtu.be/VvApmH7rmVQ

Removing relays helped me

Why does that help?

Nostr is currently quite data intensive, since clients are reaching out to multiple relays to get data all the time.

One of the benefits of some paid relays, such as nostr.wine, is that they do this for you, aggregating notes from various public relays, so your client doesn't have to reach out to all of them separately.

I use them! ๐Ÿท

In that case, take a peek at the list of relays they are aggregating from, and broadcasting to. You do not need to have those relays in your relay list.

It is at the bottom of this page: https://docs.nostr.wine/filter/readme

I believe nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 has a low data mode. A purple tick box appears on the top right of the screen.

Could be wrong tho ๐Ÿ˜‚

we are still early! trust the process, Joe!

I found this, I removed a load of relays and that seemed to speed it up. No idea why bit it worked

I'm surprised that Twitter works alright on 3g.

Web app. I deleted the mobile app!

Give nostr:npub1nz64zngcqm8vj8nhrdkcjpfwn2rcaqysnxec88tqfclp5afrpglsqm0w5y a try, I constantly switch between primal and amethyst.

I start my day with primal to look at the 24h trending list and when I'm done I switch to amethyst for the rest of the day for speed and performance.

If you have an iphone dump it for an android
