https://web.nostrid.app is another interesting one
haha surprisingly my phone handles it fine! I rarely ever look at the global feed, so I avoid the huge amount of image loading that tends to take up the majority of data.
Actually that's nothing compared to #[6] , he's connected to 302 relays!
#[4] When I use https://nostrgraph.net/relay_recommendation, I notice that even when I put in my own npub, it's saying "Recommended Relays for @wakoinc".
Is that just a typo, or is it actually checking your npub rather than the one I input?
At this point, you should just expect any relays that are included as defaults/recommended with a client will be constantly hammered by new users.
Instead, use https://nostrgraph.net/relay_recommendation to find the relays with the best coverage based on who you follow, then check https://nostr.watch/relays/find to make sure the ones you add have a good uptime percentage.
This way, you'll have a good combination of connectivity to your nostr friends, but to relays that aren't overloaded.
Over time, clients will get smart about doing all this automatically for you.
Don't have to deal with global feed spam if you never go on the global feed! I'm connected to 54 relays and I have no issues.
Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
Just from perusing the relays I see you're connected to and checking their uptime the past 24h
wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net --- uptime of 93%
wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social --- uptime of 52% (not great)
wss://nostr.onsats.org --- uptime of 4% (yikes)
wss://nostr.zebedee.cloud --- uptime of 4% (yikes again)
wss://relay.damus.io --- doesn't even show an uptime because it's basically melting down from use
wss://relay.nostr.bg --- uptime of 54%
wss://relay.nostr.info --- uptime of 12%
I think we've found the problem :)
I've got a whole mess of relays I'm connected to after a lot of trial and error of which were overloaded, check them out on my profile!
I removed a lot of the "default" ones like relay.damus and relay.snort as those just get overloaded by the hordes of people that just use the 5 default relays that come with the client. Those default ones have become unusable at this point.
Also, it can be handy to check nostr.watch every once in a while and see which relays have uptime closest to 100%
Can you set it to delete any events older than a certain length of time?
"Choose which relays will display notes on the global feed"
Beautiful!
nos.lol and e.nos.lol are run by #[2]
Would it help to perhaps only use relay.snort as a bootstrap relay to pull in initial data after login, then have the user set their own relays, not keeping the snort one as a default?
haha it’s super interesting history so they let that detail go 😛
We got him! take him away boys #[4]
I like that your phone’s name is “satoshi”
