Cheers Mate, only been here a few days still learning. Finding it hard to work out the relay thing. For example am i supposed to turn off free relays now that I have some paid ones??? I have paid for 6 at present and will add more. I also enabled your filter, i dont know if i did that correctly or not. Any help here appreciated

Your filter looks great from what I can see on your profile. There is no perfect solution yet but my recommendation is remove all your big public free relays and try exploring content with use paid relays + filter.
ok, so just remove any free relay??? Add more paid ones??
I donāt advocate for the removal of free relays. I use some myself.
Yeah, itās all preference and tradeoffs of course.
Iām not on a rampage to get people to delete free relays fwiw - it is just the best way for me to illustrate what the filter actually does. If you run filter.nostr.wine (on a client without specific relay settings) along with the top 5 big public relays, it effectively does nothing (besides broadcast).
Thatās the reason Iām saying try it, then augment your experience however youād want.
Thanks for you input, i have your relay as well. I am new to this space (2 days) and not that tech savy anymore, im old now....but still trying to learn. There needs to be a document somewhere that explains relays and how to set it up with your client ect for 5 year olds. I could not really find anything.

That part is up to you! I would say start by removing all of them and then if youāre having trouble loading content or feel or feed isnāt populated enough, slowly add a few back till you find a good mix.
Some public relays do a good job filtering spam and perform well, others not so much.
Great suggestļ¼ I reply U with an invoice from nostr.wine and look forward to diggggin
