Choosing your relays is not an easy thing. Not too many to not stress my client and not too few so that I don’t miss out or lose connections.

It would be nice if I could group my subscriptions in the client (Damus). For example nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl runs her own relay. Why ask other relays for her notes?

Also I really don’t know where my stuff is now. This note will not go to nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch's 140 chars relay for example.

It’s all a bit fuzzy. An own relay and an own client would solve that, right? Damn, that’s a lot of work.

"Damn, that's a lot of work"

Whenever something is convenient, it probably is centralised.

Centralisation LOVES convenience.

I'm constantly testing them and adjusting them on different clients and on nostr.metadata.com, so mine are a big mess.

Most people don't really follow, anyone, and they stick to the preset relays.

They'll like 10 of my posts in a row and zap 3 and then not follow and I show up in their feed 3 weeks later and they're like "Where you been?"

What’s nostr.metadata.com?

Sorry, wrong link

https://metadata.nostr.com/

Perfect, thank you! Bookmarked for later.
