Hello frenpais! Well, I've finally done it! The superfriends public #relay has just migrated from nostr-rs-relay over to strfry! 😼🔥
We have migrated all event data over as well, so if you were using the superfriends relay before, your data should still all be here. Everything should work exactly as it did, except much more performant! This means feeds load much faster, events read/write much faster, and less error-prone.
As always, anyone is welcome to use it: wss://nostr.superfriends.online
nostr-rs-relay has been fantastic over the years, but the backend on sqlite3 was a major bottleneck for public relays. Even with loads of fine-tuning, there is only so much you can do with sqlite3, particularly if hosting a public relay (I think it's great for private/small relays!)
I like that strfry uses LMDB which is much faster and scalable. It also is more actively maintained and has some great tooling built in for plugins and extensibility.
If you have any problems, please let me know.
Enjoy! 😻💾
