One more question… If I've specified wss://filter.nostr.wine as a relay, is it necessary to also have wss://nostr.wine? Seems like that would cause double the traffic for you…

I ask because I repeated saw the instruction to set up wss://nostr.wine and nothing saying not to if filter was set up.

They are completely separate. Nostr.wine is just a normal pay-to-write relay. It has geographically distributed regional mirrors and is much easier to scale.

Filter’s goal is to be a PUBLIC relay aggregator/broadcaster and let users decide which paid/private relays they want to choose to be apart of individually.

I get the difference but doesn’t filter read and write to nostr.wine? So isn’t specifying nostr.wine redundant if you’ve subscribed & set up filter?

No, filter only reads from the public relays in the readme list.
