Are most nostr clients using NIP-50 for search or something else? The two most popular relay implementations, strfry and nostr-rs-relay, don’t support NIP-50. We are looking for a big, reliable search relay to add to the default list in Nos.
Yep, but only wss://relay.nostr.band, wss://nostr.wine and wss://relay.noswhere.com support NIP-50 for now.
@brugeman I would love to make it nostr.band, it’s actually already on our default relay list but it sends way more rate limit errors than any other relay so it’s hard to rely on it. Are the current limits something you have found necessary or would it be possible to raise them?
Well ideally you would only send search queries to it, then you probably wouldn't hit the rate limits, is that possible? It's quite heavily loaded, being one of few relays with full index of events and with search over all of them.
