Introducing filter.nostr.wine from your favorite paid relay winos🍷. This is currently only available to members of the https://nostr.wine paid relay.

The purpose of this relay is to supplement users who want to use only paid relays with public relay data that is relevant to them or people close to them. In addition, the relay provides full coverage for profiles, note replies, and DMs outside of your paid relay network from our own public relay aggregator. This relay is read-only and drops write events.

To use the relay add wss://filter.nostr.wine/YOUR_NPUB to your relay list. Be aware that some clients will strip this out and not work with this relay. Only paid nostr.wine member pubkeys will be accepted.

For this initial release, new sign ups won’t automatically get added to the whitelist so if you are new to nostr.wine and want to try it out please reply. We’ll be adding auto whitelisting shortly.

If you have any issues, feedback, or feature requests reach out to #[0] or me.

We just added the ability to optionally broadcast to filter.nostr.wine. Add the relay as wss://filter.nostr.wine/YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true and you will also broadcast all of your messages to the following public relays:

relay.damus.io

nos.lol

relay.current.fyi

relay.snort.social

We will add brb.io when the performance is more stable.

If you do not include the parameter, your events will be ignored by this relay.

Now you can have all the reach of the largest public relays, full coverage of notes, profiles, and DMs without all the spam!

We just launched this that I think helps handle a lot! It’s not perfect but it’s a start.

What do you think of this solution for paid relay reachability and coverage?

Check out our newest nostr.wine filter+broadcast relay: #[2]

This is amazing and very much needed.

removed the 4 relays and bang! spams are way lesser in global feed!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ well done mate!!!🤙🤙🤙

Now add ?broadcast=true to the end of your pubkey in your filter.nostr.wine relay and you’ll be able to broadcast to big public relays while staying spam free!

DUDE! Awesome. Will try it now

Is this right? (I set up the paid nostr.wine relay a couple days ago)

wss://filter.nostr.wine/npub14qz92uedt0a8jte8jqg63jr3s5cc99cej36jh883z6tprlu354uqqe2q26?broadcast=true

Looks good to me!

Awesome, thanks. So if I understand correctly, my notes will be seen by most but I’ll avoid most spam (assuming I disconnect from all global free relays)?

That’s right! Test it out and see how it looks to you. #[2] and I just built this today so lots to learn.

Cool, will do! What if I follow accounts who are only connected to default relays? They’ll see my posts but I won’t see theirs? Ready to test this 💪

I can do you one better…

The changes introduced via filter.nostr.wine today actually seem like a great solution in the short term. #[4]

Still a bit early and unclear how they will be helpful. This one seems the be the furthest along in making a usable experience that is spam-free with good connectivity. #[4]
