Relays

The relays Iris uses can change over time since they reflect the content you're viewing.

You can add, remove and disable (and enable with ☑) relays. By saving publicly the current relay list is published and you can use it on other clients.

Backup and Restore features include your relay list.

Caching

Iris caches profiles, follows and the latest notes for a faster and better user experience.

Local storage

Iris stores a few of the latest messages, contacts and metadata for a better user experience.

Relay requests

Iris asks for 1000 latest events from known users initially. Some relays don't like the large authors filter (100-2000). Then it subscribes to all upcoming messages but discards those that are from unknown authors. When you open someone's profile, all their events are queried.
