Nostr Web Client

Nobody knows exactly what’s optimal yet in terms of relays. My recommendation would be try to find a mix of a few paid relays and a few public ones. If you’re having trouble controlling spam, perhaps add a few more paid and try different public relays. Of course, not all paid relays are created equally. Hard to know what to choose.

All about experimentation to find your ideal nostr experience, not someone else’s.

To be honest, I just stay out of global now that I have followed over 50 people I know/respect. Once you get past ~50 there is enough to interact with from those people, where it’s not necessary to fish for strangers or random posts

I spend about 15% time in Global now that I cleaned it up - can’t be too closed

True, but you miss out on content discovery.

I basically only look at global these days. I see my follows+their follows and that web of contacts produces exactly the type of content I like to read!

Also let me branch out a bit outside of my North America developers circle. I follow some of our 🇯🇵 and 🇨🇳 nostr.wine users so I get a glimpse of who they follow too!

That’s true actually, I discovered a wonderful user form 🇯🇵 a few days ago who posts beautiful content daily… discovered in global.

I’m going to spend the day learning… and trying to clean up my relays + feed. Hard to know which of my many relays are pure spam tho. 🤦‍♂️

Use Damus or Astral to test. Damus you can toggle on off in Global. Astral shows you what relays you are “seeing” posts on.

I’d aim for about 10 relays, a few paid.

How do you toggle on off in damus?

Content discovery generally comes from people I follow sharing good content, new users, or people I like that interact with my posts… like you. I just follow real people, skip the flood of spam.
