IF YOU ARE USING DAMUS
USE LESS THAN 15 RELAYS
IF NOT, YOU WILL HAVE AN UNSTABLE EXPERIENCE
DO NOT BLAME THE DEV

Thereβs more design thinking needed around relays.
How do we abstract away relay details, and yet empower and educate the nostriches to the power of censorship hardened relay model?
A simple in app Damus check and warning of too many relays is a short term bandaid.
I was using 20 when I started seeing blank pages, so I added more. Didnβt help

Iβm not on TestFlight and Iβm connected to 41, I havenβt seen issues that I am aware of. I have always wondered what the limiting principle is for relays.
He is following 800 people. Thats like 50k * 45, or about 2MB of requests. Thats only upload, not to mention download.
This reminds me to add relay stats so damus can automatically demote slow and unreliable ones.
Iβd love performance stats on relays, Iβd also love detail on connections between myself and the npubs I follow, follow me, and mutually follow each other. Which of my relays are the only relays I have in common with someone and so pruning it would cut us off from each other. Which relays are needlessly duplicative, and can be pruned. What are the relays that my network has, that could provide the unique connections I have with a redundancy to avoid censorship. A recommended relay for npubs where the relays in common < 2, something like that. I would love more detail on the relays. π
I sense that Relays ought to contribute to the P2P as tribute to join, perhapste freedom is good at early stages to gain traction for now thou.
80 relays for 2 weeks here on Damus. No problems.
I have 20+ relays and don't experience problems on Damus π€·ββοΈ
You most likely have unlimited LTE + always on good wifi
But looking at your relay list.. a lot of them that give you the same reading + writing, that maybe 8 or 10 can do
I have been using 80 relays on Damus for a couple of weeks. No significant issues. π«‘π€
Iβm down to 16 today including my self-hosted relay. Things are running well.
Lfgggg you have a couple duplicates, I screenshotted them here my fren π€ 
Indeed, not sure how that happened but itβs been fixed!
Itβs an issue nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 already documented that happens when you add β/β at the end, most likely you added it from someone elseβs relay list
