And hist nostr land and purplepag are not conventional relays either. First one is to backup your follows and second one is nostr purple pages. Like yellow pages

Is there a breakdown of relays or relay setups like you just gave?
I have relays for days and need to clean them up to the ones that are solid.
Less than 10 relays (because of the bug)
You want a few big relays like damus or nos.lol, a few paid relays like wine or the filter (if you want). Some smaller like nostr.land or WoT. I like to have utxo’s news relay. And purplepages (for dsiscoverability) and hist.nostr.lan for backups. Last 2 aren’t necessary. I just find they make my life easier
After removing a few yesterday to get below 10, stuff seems to display a bit faster (reaction counts etc) but still off by quite a bit frequently until I click into it.
It honestly doesn’t really bother me that I’m flying a little blind, but is there something more I might be missing out on? Is this what paid relays deliver? Don’t have problem paying for one just not sure what I get for it
Which clients are you comparing?
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
