Paid relays usually have better spam control. Some have additional features like wine’s filter for example

Was just staying inside Damus. For example just scrolled down feed to a note posted 20 mins ago and it appears to have no interaction (no reaction, no reply, no zap). When i click on it I then see there’s a comment and a zap. Figured this was just the norm for nostr
When I compare primal to Damus (have a few times in past) it’s hard to really make sense how they differ, and not sure I care 😆 But maybe I should?
Don’t wanna turn this into a drawn out tech support thing for you, so no need to fully educate/fix. Ears open though
I don’t have an explanation for that unfortunately. Once Damus fully implements nostrdb (the thing will is working on), it’ll probably be more reliable. I get similar results on other clients. Although Nostur has an option for this (toggling on/off reactions in the feed)
Thanks for the tech support. May pay for a relay just to test. Thanks again 🐸

Paid for nostr.wine. Can’t really tell for sure, but seems faster to update stats, but still only after I click into a post. Again, I’m good with it, but just for the sake of communicating clearly, here’s a vid of me viewing a Gigi post. Notice how it looks almost dead until I inspect. https://video.nostr.build/8de580e2dc5d536597fa9d87224ee18043d3bf85a501e48206cc89d44557f450.mp4
I've had no issues with wine or forest
Wine is great. I really like its filter relay. Nostr.land is great too
I need to figure out more about the relays. I get sidetracked and sent chasing rabbits when I'm on here instead of the main thing I should be focusing on
This is a cool site where you can filter relays by location and latency
Did either of you check out that clip I attached above? Just wanna confirm whether or not that’s typical nostr behavior or not.
Some posts are like that yes. Your client fetches the info once you click on it. Some clients, like Nostur have a setting where you can fetch the post statistics while scrolling in the feed
