 I have the same relays, and added some more.

For my prior client, when I added relays it kind of seemed like the client wasn’t even using those relays and was still using the first default relay. Got really slow.

It is faster now on this second client even with the same relays. 
 It seems like the dream of perfect interoperability between nostr clients probably won’t happen. Eg web browser incompatibility despite a clear specification. 

I would expect that every client will be a separate product experience and we won’t see useful data portability for normies. Eg you need to use the same relays and make certain selections and configurations to use it, which will be too difficult for regular folks. 
 It will get better, growing pains 
 Likes are spotty, if you come back to the same note 12-24 hours later you’ll likely see a bunch  not appear any more but if you check on nostr.band you’ll see truer numbers.
