Hey frens quick pro tip

If you hear anyone complaining about nostr being unusable bc their data usage is super high and it drains their battery

Simply ask them about their relay setup (screenshot if you can’t see it for yourself on their profile)

Most likely they’re connected to a bunch of offline relays

Tell them to disconnect from those n only connect to relays with high uptime 🫑

This shouldn’t even be part of the UX for new users, only advanced. The fact that you have it explain it shows a real fault in how relays work.

I honestly don’t know the solution but I’ve spoken to many people that joined nostr then leave for a bit come back n their experience is horrible bc they’re connected to relays that are no longer being ran.. kinda wish there was a way for when a relay has too much downtime or is simply offline to be disconnected from npubs

That would definitely help. Better controls are important, but new users shouldn’t even need to know what relays are or how they work to have a positive experience.
