Media optimization proxy… is that like a server through which all the images go through? Is that linked to their media hosting server or it’s another step?

It is separate. The biggest data eater on Nostr is media, not relays.

An app built with nostr.land and some other performant relays would not have any difference from Primal’s data usage if it optimizes media.

So if I only use nostr land on Damus, I understand I would use way less data than if I use 5 relays like now. But how is that helping the image sizes since Damus doesn’t have that image proxy?

Nostr.land optimizes your relay data connection only.

To optimize media I’d need to be able to modify the note content.

Currently Damus allows this but this won’t work with Notedeck, I guess nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s could do something that allows nostrscript modules for this.

Notedeck isn’t on mobile yet though. Less useful for how I use day to day. But great feature to have

Damus currently allows editing note content by trusted relays. So that could be used to replace media links with optimized versions

This is something I can support in the next Nostr.land version
