I just use primal and don't even understand the concept of joining a relay. how do I know what relays I have joined. https://media.tenor.com/ajcPr-xlMloAAAAC/noob-b00nehtru.gif

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.

Thanks for this info Will. I have been using primal a lot but will now spread the love more on Damus (the OG of iOS clients)

They are not reading from a single relay. They are reading from a single caching service (https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-caching-service) that connects to the relays. This is a centralizing factor but the service is open source and could be self hosted. I don’t know of anyone doing it though...

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?

Primal is straight LARPing due to this. 🥲 Can’t believe even their native app forces you to only read from their relay.

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...
