Comment below if you want me to review your relay lists. I have a couple hours to spare.

Inbox/Outbox is good.
Add: auth.nostr1.com and nos.lol to your Private Inbox/DM list.
Click DEFAULT on SEARCH to add search relays.
free labour? why not
Delete these from inbox/outbox. They don't even connect. They are either wrong or gone.
relay.nostriches.org
nostr.sovrgn.co.za
offchain.pub
Relay doctor 👀 we need an AI for this :)
If you are paying for nostr.wine, keep that one on Outbox and choose another 2.
Pick three free relays for the Public Inbox.
The rest looks fine.
Yessir
Primal doesn't allow you to setup your inbox/outbox I think, so go to https://metadata.nostr.com/ log in, click relays and pick 3 that you are SURE to have all of your posts and mark them as WRITE. Then pick 3 (it can be the same) that ANYONE can write into (no paid relays) and select READ.
Please do.
Primal.

Ya, Primal doesn't differentiate the different types of relays the way Amethyst does.
I'll take all the help I can get.
Relay noob here, please help.
Are you on primal or amethyst? You have way too many inbox/outbox relays. If you are on Primal go to https://metadata.nostr.com/ log in, click relays and pick 3 that you are SURE to have all of your posts and mark them as WRITE. Then pick 3 (it can be the same) that ANYONE can write into (no paid relays) and select READ.
I have had time to figure work on this so your recommendations would be rewarded with a zap.

I'd appreciate an official Vitor Pamplona review of my relays!
I wouldn't use citrine for Search. I would just use the default items there.
If you want DM notifications directly on amethyst, add nos.lol to your Private Inbox. This makes your DMs visible to others.
I'm confused. Why would I want my private DMs visible to others? Isn't the whole point to have relays that allow anyone to write, but require user authentication to read?
Only if you want DM notifications. Your DMs are now so private that even our Push Notification server cannot see them. So, if you want them, you need an opening, but everyone else will also see your events.
I disabled Amethyst's notifications because I'm using Pokey which is hooked to my private inbox relays. I haven't had any DMs since I setup Pokey, but I'm assuming that it will be able to deliver DM notifications. Could you send me a DM to test that?
I don't know if Pokey is already AUTHing with your Amber key. That will be required to see your DMs.
Yes 🫂☝️
Public Inbox is wrong. Delete all of them and add nos.lol, nostr.mom and maybe relay.damus.io
Remove purple pages and filter.nostr.wine from the Search relays. Click the Default button to add the other two relays with search available. This improves @ tagging

Add nos.lol, nostr.mom and relay.damus.io to your PUBLIC OUTBOX and PUBLIC INBOX.
The rest is good.

Way too many inbox outbox relays. Just pick 3 that you are SURE have your posts.
If you are on Primal go to https://metadata.nostr.com/ log in, click relays and pick 3 that you are SURE to have all of your posts and mark them as WRITE. Then pick 3 (it can be the same) that ANYONE can write into (no paid relays) and select READ.

Thank you , I’m on primal. I’m going to try it out .
I've got no idea ŵhat mine looks like
Please take a look. I see posts i made through Amethyst, but not on satellite and the opposite.
Inbox, Outbox and Search are wrong. Make sure there are no spaces in these addresses (yours have lots of spaces)
On Inbox and Outbox, add:
- nos.lol
- nostr.mom
- relay.damus.io
For private inbox/DM, add:
- nos.lol
- auth.nostr1.com
On Search, hit the default button.
👋
You don't have anything setup. If you are on Amethyst...
On Inbox and Outbox, add:
- nos.lol
- nostr.mom
- relay.damus.io
For private inbox/DM, add:
- nos.lol
- auth.nostr1.com
On Search, hit the default button.
Oh gosh... do we get graded on this? 😁
If you fail, you get banned from Nostr.
All the best 🫂
Remove filter.nostr.wine from Outbox and nostr.wine from inbox.
If you are paying for nostr.wine, add it to the OUTBOX.
Add nos.lol to public inbox.
So where should filter.nostr.wine go if it's not in outbox? I noticed in the article you reposted earlier that it's a terrible idea to put this is in inbox too 🤔
Sure
Way too many inbox/outbox. Just pick the 3 that you are absolutely sure keep your posts for OUTBOX and free ones like nos.lol, nostr.mom to receive your Public INBOX.
You also don't have Search relays setup. Which means @ tagging on Amethyst will not work well. Click the Default button to add our recommendations.
🙏🏽

I've tried to take your advice but an expert eye would be appreciated. Cheers🍻.
Sure
All good, just remove purplepages.es from your inbox and outbox. That relay doesn't store your posts.
I think I am not using relays correctly. Need suggestions.
You shouldn’t have to think about it
I dont understand... Why not?
You should check out Victor's relay guide.

I use multiple clients but mostly nostrudel, primal and amethyst.
Ok, if you go to Amethyst, you will see 7-8 relays in inbox and Outbox. That's too much.
Select 3 from Outbox trust to keep your posts. This could include paid relays. nostr.wine (if you are paying) is great here.
Select 3 from Inbox that are open to anyone to post. nos.lol and nostr.mom are great here.
For Private Inbox/DM relays add:
- nos.lol
- auth.nostr1.com
- relay.0xchat.com
Hit the Default button for Search to have better @tagging.
Yes, please. You'll have a decent laugh.
127 relays??? WTF?
Seriously, the client is only connecting to the first 30 relays.. The rest is just consuming your data plan.
Pick 3 for inbox and Outbox. Leave aobut 20 on the General list.
If you want delete all the General List and add relays from the Recommended section back into it. The recommendations come from your Follows.
I know this isn’t the kind of free labour you volunteered for, but would you consider updating Amethyst to ignore all but the latest kind 10002 events (ordered by created_at DESC)?
Here’s my Citrine event counter. I fully reset it less than two days ago:

Pretty please, with a cherry on top? You’d be my favourite Nostr client dev in the whole wide world!
😅🤚🏻
All good. I would go to the recommended section and add utxo and mostr's relay to the general section (just press the button).
yas do me next!!!
pretty please.
Delete from outbox/inbox.
purplepages
cheeserobot.org
tunestr.io
yuhr.org
Hit the Search list's button to make @ tagging work better
Hi!
Remove nostr.wine from inbox
Remove purplepages.es from Outbox.
Click Default on the Search List's button to make @ tagging work better.
🙋♂️ I’m new to #NOSTR .. this might be helpful!

I would love to know I'm not doing something dumb with my profile
Remove you.nostr1.com from your DM Relay list.
Add nos.lol and nostr.mom to your Outbox AND Inbox lists.
I would love that ✍️
Your Public Inbox and Public Outbox are very bad. Delete the one that is there today and add:
nos.lol , nostr.mom and relay.nostr.bg on PUBLIC OUTBOX and PUBLIC INBOX.

Yes, I'm certain I'm doing something wrong.
Seems like something a explanation video would help fix for a lot of us
Way too many inbox/Outbox.
Pick 3 Outbox relays that you know have ALL your posts. Or pick the 3 that youi know will not delete your stiff.
Pick 3 Inbox relays that are free so any one can write for you.
They can be the same. But Outbox can be paid, inbox must be free (otherwise you don't get notifications).
I would appreciate a setup recommendation or general guidelines. Still unsure what is good and what isn’t.

Using Damus and Ditto.
Thanks, appreciate it
Way too many Outbox and Inbox relays. Pick just 3. nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io look good for both.
If you are paying for any relay, it goes to Outbox.
The rest seems fine.
Truly appreciate your help/review nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau! 🙏

I'd appreciate some expert advice - I have only a midwit understanding of nostr realys
Are you paying for nostr.wine? If so, that goes in the Outbox. Remove from Inbox.
I would keep 3 other relays in Inbox and Outbox and delete the rest. Just pick the most important to you.
Click the Default button on Search to add search relays and make @ tagging work better.
Okay, if inbox relays should be free, how do I keep a copy of my DMs if the relays I run I charge a fee to use so I don't get spammed? This rule means if I add my relays to my DMs, then I don't get notifications?
Public and Private Inboxes are different but both should offer a way for anyone else that is sending you a DM or a reply to post in there. So, if the relay you are using requires payment to post, you will never see any DMs or replies.
PUBLIC INBOX: You will receive a copy from clients that operate in the Outbox model. Primal, Damus and, to some extent, Amethyst do not send it yet. But they will soon. Coracle, for instance, will sends it there.
PRIVATE INBOX: Amethyst, 0xchat and Coracle do send to your Private Inbox relays.
inbox.nostr.wine allows you to pay to receive DMs from everyone else. So, having to pay here is not an issue because you are paying for the others.
Each relay is different.
Bookmarked and zapped. I'll be coming back to read this multiple times 🥴🤔🙂
I would love it if you had a second
Are you on Amethyst?
I would remove a few relays from Inbox and Outbox to keep just 3 in each.
Click the Default button on Search to get the recommended options.
On PRIVATE INBOX, add:
- relay.0xchat.com
- nos.lol
- auth.nostr1.com
Yes please 🤙
It looks all good. I would add more relays to you general section to make sure you are not missing posts from your follows.
Just add a few (press the add button) from the recommended section below General.

Your Private Inbox relay is written wrong. Delete and add: relay.0xchat.com
This was a good exercise...

The NIP-65 list is supposed to be for the public only and 3 max. The relays the app needs to use to function for this user should go somewhere else.

Looks good. I would add the first 2 Recommended relays in the end of the screen (utxo, nos.lol) to your General list (just press the add button).
That would be great
Please!
How about my list?
Heeelllpppp
Would love some insight.
A video/document would be significantly more valuable of your time that the community could all reference. But appreciative of your offer to the community none the less! 👍
please!
Me 😁😁
Surprise me
Check mine!
Yes please
my list sucks I already know
Please
please
Yes
ok but why ? what's the problem with having more or less or some particular relays?
Please do
GM Nostr 👋
Read through Vitor's suggestions, you'll learn a lot.
An optimized relay list is a game changer.
Bless you Vitor! Mine probably need trimmitng... you know I'm on Amethyst, and I do pay for wine
Me too exactly
Interested for me and nostr:npub1p9kqh64vqjkgw2ngkvssd0lvvgvwuwfcd7082rdwl0aazxynqk4qvutzlw
yes
feels like a tarot reading
please do
Yes please.
Nostr / Amethyst is just one of the four¹ social media that I follow and this whole relay thing is just way too confusing.
Especially since all the changes recently.
¹ Bluesky, Farcaster, Mastodon and Nostr
👀
Umm sure…
What is the benefit of such review?
Oooh, Me me me me me!
The only one I'm paying for on my relay list is Wine.
Still feels like 1 person maximum ever sees my posts. 😢
Sure. thx 💜
Eu quero, quero não, necessito 🤣
Relay list:
the algo
everything else
yes
Uff.. I think I am late for this 🥲😅
