That doesn’t make sense at all. So the proxy is only used for notes but not contact lists? Explain me why Cyph3rp9nk has all his followers but not me

The proxy is also used for contacts in the case of filter.nostr.wine, in fact you can test it by putting only that relay and you will get many contacts.

relay.nostr.band also acts as a proxy and gets contacts but it limits the query.

Sorry I meant for followers

Yes that’s what I thought so what Kevin is saying makes no sense

I’m sorry. I am also still learning. Just trying to make sense of it all.

No worries, maybe I am also wrong. Discussions like this help to understand 💜

Cyph3rp9nk asked the creator. Lets see what he is going to reply. Thanks anyway 🙏

Yes. Many contacts but sometimes not all right? So why is that? Do the relays, that have the info, not share it?

Well one side is posting notes (push side). In the example the paid proxy relay pushes your note to all the relays on its list.

Your followers now see it. (On there relays they are following you.)

The other side: the pull information from relays depends on the client and the relay u are using.

If I understand it correctly: when u follow a new account then this info get stored on the notes u are connected to in this moment. I think the problem lies in the sharing of the contact lists. But maybe we should ask someone from the devs for this one.
