I need to do some more research on relays. Anyone got good resources? I saw a good note a few days ago but can’t find who posted it.

How many should I even have? I’ve got a list I’m connected to, but I don’t really know much about them—who’s behind them, what they’re for, how they’re different, or why I’d pick one over another.

I’ve noticed some relays don’t carry over when I switch apps, and some just don’t connect. I’ve even got my own private relay set up, but I’m not sure if I’m using it right (Nostr RS on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll). I just want to make sure people can see my notes and that I’m backing up my stuff properly.

If you’ve got any tips or resources, let me know—I’m always trying to learn. Thanks. #asknostr

I see this note and I would also like to know more about relays, especially with Start 9.

THE guide to properly setting up relays is this one from nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309amxjar0wghxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpqgcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqyw43nv , assuming you are using a client like Amethyst that allows you to set up all these various types of relays:

Give that a read for starters.

We definitely need a good relay index with descriptions of what the relays are trying to accomplish...

That’s the note I was looking for, thanks! I don’t have Android so I need to find a client on iOS or PC that lets me set up relays like that.

I am only on Android, so I am not sure what is available with relay selection options that are quite so robust as Amethyst.
