devs are spoiled. building software like everyone has an unlimited 5G data plan and a last gen phone. if you do the opposite (build for low end, low connectivity, spotty network access) you end up with something that works for the lowest common denominator and feels ultra snappy on higher end phones and better connections.

Not really a dev issue. Just huge media loading. Can’t stop that on nostr without disabling media.

outbox model plays a role too, connecting to hundreds relay at a time will fetch the same event a few times

That’s not good … I haven’t seen this issue but that’s probably because I’m not on Android

TBH, I have no 5G and not great 4G. Amethyst is still hands-down the best performing client out there.

When I was in the UK about a month and a half ago, Amethyst didn't load anything for me except my own content from my local relay 😂 But Amethyst wasn't alone here, Primal also didn't load anything either. I think I was being throttled to 128kb/sec when roaming.

clients need to optimise the relay selection algo, need to balance coverage and bandwidth. hundreds of relays sounds overkill, as users tend to cluster around popular relays. more than 50 for a following sounds insane tbh.
