I've only been talking about this for nearly the whole time I've been on nostr. 😑 So yeah. Nostr suuuucks on bad networks and it doesn't have to. It won't ever be as efficient as centralized CDNs blasting cached content from local mirrors on big pipes, but it must be made more efficient to reach the people that really need to use it.

The new amethyst lets you set an aggregator relay to read from and disable outbox and the 1000 relay connections it causes.

relaytools-android is pretty good at using smol data. It has images off by default (including PFPs) and only connects to a couple of relays. Lots of caching too.

I don't is amethyst much anymore, so... My data usage is way down. Caching efficiency would help a ton. IMO. In don't know why clients can't use an on-device nostr DB to preferentially pull common data from. I shouldn't have to have every client on a device have a separate copy of my follow list's latest pfp. For example.

Yes, caching is a big one. @Vitor Pamplona may be working on this?
