on primal you only read from a single relay, theirs. when you configure a relay its only for which relays you write to I believe. on damus the relay list are both the relays you read from and write to. some clients even go further and allow you to configure relays you write to and read from separately.

Is that is why there is a major lag for notifications to hit? I've been experimenting keeping Primal, Ditto and Coracle open in browser. Even thought I've been posting via Primal, I typically get notifications back on it in Ditto 1st, Coracle 2nd and Primal a distant 3rd.
so in this case , in theory, it would be up to primal to fix the issue of the replyguy spam? or would it just be up to users to change relays? what's a good way to understand what relays are , like what would be a compassion to some existing thing or tech?
How to confirm this? If this is the case that primal is only read from their relay/cache…that explains A. Why notes and stuff aren’t congruent on Primal even if I have the same set of relays I do in Damus B. Why they are experiencing these debilitating lags of data populating to the point the app is unusable Transparently the only reason I went with Primal to start my #nostr life a week ago was 1. Easy wallet as I kept hitting road blocks with Alby and self custody 2. I liked it was same “app” mobile for mobile and web 3. I was testing clients I do 95% of my #proofofwork here in #Damus and only (try to) pull up primal if I have to look up a hashtag or npub/user I can’t recall or get Damus to populate. I love the idea YakiHonne is building but too many features with issues leading to poor UX
