Subnostr

Hi! They are completely unique and serve different purposes.

nostr.wine is a “typical” paid relay. You have to pay a one time 18,888 sats admission fee to be able to write to the relay but anyone can read from it.

filter.nostr.wine is a paid subscription service (5000-10000 sats per month depending on duration of purchase). Filter is a public/free relay aggregator with several additional features. Here are some of the highlights:

- Aggregates notes from the largest 20+ free relays

- Broadcasts your notes out to 10+ free relays

- Also broadcasts to your first 4 "write" relays and the first 4 "read" relays from the first 5 tagged users (NIP-65 list)

- Offers a (configurable) follows+follows filter for “global” view so you can explore notes outside of your immediate follows but still within your network

- Full text search across all aggregated events

You can learn more about the full functionality of Filter here: https://docs.nostr.wine/filter/readme nostr:note1hqz2d39re53gu864aanuuq78uef3znx7p0ytxguph52g4tfxyy2sj0ut0g

Mazin you’re a boss 🔥🔥

So I’m curious, it seems as though the client is “responsible” for exposing these details - is that right?

For example: configuring the f+f global view, or utilizing the advanced text search - I don’t see any way to control that in context of the relay within the Damus UI, unless it’s as simple as “when text searching within Damus, it automatically takes advantage of the wine relay’s better tooling” or something like that?

The follows+follows global filter is enabled by default. You can disable it by adding ?global=all to the end of your relay URL.

wss://filter.nostr.wine?global=all

We are going to make these options available via a new Members Area section on our website fairly soon as well. Let me know if you have other questions!
