Hi All, NEWB question about relays.

Are the more paid relays you have the better and why??

I have 8 or 9 and no public at the moment and sometimes its fast sometimes slow, never consistent.

I also notice not all posts, relys , dms are reflected across different clients, its like they are not in sync.

For other NEWBS lists below to help find relays

Good question, current removing all my unpaid relays to see if its better, have the nostr wine filter too so should still have reach to those old free relays if I'm understanding this right

Thx for tip.

OK

I don’t think more relays is necessarily better. It’s going to be more a matter of sharing enough of the same relays as the people you want to be able to communicate with.. Using only paid relays might be limiting at the moment although using the nostr.wine filter relay might help since it aggregates public relays. I haven’t personally tried that one yet.

cheers mate

Thanks for the zap!
