Cody (npub1syj…f6wl) can you provide a technical explanation for the message below that I found in relays option?
“*The number of read and write servers should ideally be kept between 2 and 4.*”
I already saw this recommendation before from others clients devs, but why is more read relays a problem? Cause lag or gaps?
