This new option makes better connectivity sharing posts via relays of follows but more process taken more data usage. Seems inefficient. relays need to take care this function by seeing follows relay

Are you seeing more data usage? Because it is the same data, just coming from different relays instead of a few big ones. It should not be much more.
After scrolling 30minutes nearly 1gb finished even without seeing videos sad 😔 nostr should need to be better . Client can't improve efficiency
2 items: All your data is downloaded for each different inbox and outbox relay you have. So, I would reduce your 8 relays or so to the 3 that you like the most.
Your Search has a lot of relays that don't offer Search (NIP-50) you can just press that Default button to reload the ones that work.
Make sure to also Hit the Default button for the Indexer so the app knows where to get unknown users from. Otherwise, the app send that to literally every relay you have connected.
I will do more checks.
Keep in mind that this download happens everytime the app is killed. So if you are used to swipe up, every time you bring the app back, it downloads all your data again. But once loaded the cost should be minimal
Thanks 😊 helpfull
