TIL about #Nostr –

Your relay list is distributed **to your relays**, so if you have few connections, you might not even have the whole list of relays that you configured.

I was having some trouble connecting and despite having spent a lot of time making a long custom list of relays, I found that my configuration was only showing ~4 relays again.

However, after I connected to a few more relays manually that I recognized from the public list, the entire list I had previously configured was suddenly restored. (jumped from 7 to 35 instantly)

Just something to store away in your brain if you ever find your settings, connections, or previous configuration is gone or has been reset... you might just need to connect to some familiar relays to have it restored.
