After looking at a small random sample of kind:10002 events, it looks to me like clients are ignoring this important note of NIP-65: **Clients SHOULD guide users to keep kind:10002 lists small (2-4 relays).**
I see way too many relays, also its not useful to have blastr relays in there.
It almost looks like a copy paste of kind 3 relays, which then defeats the point NIP-65.
Agreed, makes the list a little useless when a user has added 20+ relays
I've been thinking about this for noStrudel and I'd like to find a way for users to manage their inbox/outbox relays separately from the relays the client is connected to
Yes it should be separate, there are many useful type of relays that a client could connect to but are useless in kind:10002: blastr relays, special feed relays from nostr.band or nostr.wine, private relays…
Until the majority of clients are working with nip65, there is a reason for people to use more relays in order to keep in touch with people on those other clients. But a well-chosen 8 relays is plenty.
I still use 6. If everybody was on nip65 I would probably only use 2.
