I think for topic relays to gain traction the clients need to do more hand holding, and not pulling from main relay list, so the relay op requires a bit less moderation of irrelevancy, for it to work and be worth it to set up a topic specific relay. Would be nice to see a relay implementation that would let me set up multiple topics using the same resource.

I think I understand the concept of filtering a feed to read based on relay, but what about writing?

For this to be useful wouldn’t it require clients to support the ability to choose which relay you’re publishing to when you write a note? Otherwise aren’t topical relays going to be full of notes unrelated to the topic?

Some apps, line mine nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch do support choosing which relays to publish to.

I think we could have relays that only host a part of a users posts, say those in a community / group / connected to a list / or with hashtags.

Also we’re building a viewer which shows who’s using and what content is on a relay. Hence I wanted to see what topical relays / content focused ones exist to test it out.

Yes, for now you have to use keywords.. eg. You could tell everyone the keywords and hashtags that get collected.. and then in addition you can further curate off topic spam.. relay.tools does this.
