Can you try relay.nostr.info?
Discussion
Sure I'll test against it tomorrow.
So I've tried relay.nostr.info and bootstrap my client from it a few times and all seems to work OK for me.
I had an issue with this event b19927cc51e45bff87628a15f8f643f452d67ab9c5b936163c906825be585e34 because python won't let me convert the ticks on this to a date (its year 54460?!)
But that's more my issue, I should probably be dropping this event upfront.
In addition I too a look at the specific case with large number of author, and both the split style on single worked Ok for large number (>1000) on damus relay only the split style returns, though it no longer errors/returns a notice of too many keys so it might return eventually.
with ClientPool('wss://relay.nostr.info') as c:
followers = c.query({
'kinds': [Event.KIND_CONTACT_LIST],
'#p': ['3efdaebb1d8923ebd99c9e7ace3b4194ab45512e2be79c1b7d68d9243e0d2681']
})
ufs = {ContactList.from_event(c).owner_public_key for c in followers}
# this will timeout
metas1 = c.query({
'kinds': [Event.KIND_META],
'authors': list(ufs)
}, timeout=5)
# this will return ok in damus
q = []
for k in util_funcs.chunk(list(ufs),250):
q.append({
'kinds': [Event.KIND_META],
'authors': k
})
metas2 = c.query(q, timeout=5)
print(len(metas1) == len(metas2))
