I generally recommend keeping about 10-15 tops. Paid can make up half or better. Especially with the filter to keep you in touch with free relays.

More than that really burns your battery up for no real gains.

You can extend your reach by going to nostrified.online and blasting out your events every so often. Make sure to show #[4]​ some love for the tool.

I also vet my relays through nostr.watch to see how fast/slow they are. If they’re slow they’re either too far away or too loaded. We contribute to the decentralized nature of nostr by spreading out some.

You only need one shared relay with someone to see their notes.

Just some general tips.

Thank you for this great guidance 🙏💜🫂⚡️

No problem. My advice may be different from some, but it’s worked well across several clients on many operating systems.

Your phone’s battery will thank you. Nostr is not kind to batteries. 🤣

So true!! Your help fixing my relays made huge remarkable difference in battery life! And phone dies not run like smoker anymore either🤣🤣

It really does feel like it catches fire sometimes dunnit?

🔥 💨 yes 🤣🤣
