Loving Nostr... I run a UK relay (the first UK Paid Relay) at https://nostr.naut.social Price 4000sats. Which Paid Relays to join? Ones near you, (for speed), some around the world, (for reach). Ones focussed on specific interests/groups you like, (not sure if any exist yet, but they will)
Relays : so right now we're all on all, pretty much, but as they get stressed, relays in your country may perform better. If outside the USA, join your local relays as well. Mine is in London. Or, "London, England" as Hollywood has it :-)
At least we know it isn't a Russian balloon. There's no breadcrumb trail of fallen out of it oligarchs...
Next up - you use Nostr.band to find some cool people to follow. But how do you tell if you have relays in common? Ideas :- a) People can put their preferred relays in their profile. b) Clients flag up "no notes from this user for 7 days. If you recently followed this user, perhaps you don't have any relays in common.
Sort of silly question, but, how do DMs work? Notes - get sent to all the relays you write to, and picked up by followers. DMs - are they also sent to all the relays you write to, and hence loads of copies lying around, or just to the ones you have in common, or somehow direct?
Fun fact : No one has any idea how fucking noisy swans are until one lands next to your boat just as you're drifting off to sleep....
