I guess it depends on how the “broadcast” button works within your client.
If you only set up two or three relays, it will only broadcast to those two or three relays, no matter how many times you click broadcast.
Also, just because you broadcast to multiple relays, doesn’t mean that more people see it. It just means it’s in more places. There’s no guarantee that more people look in those places for your Content specifically.
Fair enough.
I was assuming that the more places the note is broadcast too, the higher the chances of more clientsin general to see it.
Nostr isn’t like a client-server system where each note only “lives” on the relays you posted to. It’s closer to a gossip network, where relays exchange events with each other, and clients sync from multiple relays.
Where do the events live?
Or do they rely on 100% up time by the network to survive?
Dont relays store a database of events?
What I’m saying is, they don’t ONLY live on the relay that you post them to. They get distributed around the network.
Anyone can decide to keep a copy and keep it online, yes, it would require 100% uptime for each relay to hold everything.
You can run your own relay pretty simply and store a copy of your own notes in case your connected relays ever go offline
Yes that's what I do
