My global feed in the v0.23 now with a spam again! I see messages there from relays are not marked for global feeds (Globus icon is grey). Before I got global feed only from relays with green Globus icon. But the version 0.23 doesn't count with same options :(
Amethyst v0.23.0: In Search we Trust
We are defaulting to nostr.band as one of the few if not the only relay that accepts search filters. You can add more options to the relay settings page.

Discussion
It seems that now the active download icon ("read" or download icon) is taken into account to get a global feed - I have it enabled even for relays with the Globe disabled. But it seems to me that this is a bug. If I disable the "download icon" icon, then spam from that feed disappears, but most likely due to the fact that nothing is received from that relay at all.
Hum.. there might be a bug indeed. See if you can disable nostr.band, the new relay for search from the Global View.
I didn't quite understand what to try. Yesterday I read the list of changes, decided to look for this relay in the list of relays and did not find it. Then I added it manually to see how the search works. But I didn't see the difference. But the error I wrote about, it seems to have been before adding the relay manually. I can turn it off, but what does it have to do with anything?
Now the global feed seems to be taken only from those relays that are enabled through the globe. Yesterday it was the same, but sometimes the global feed suddenly started asking for messages from other relays. Perhaps this happens after editing the list (for example, adding a relay or on/off)
A spam started again (v0.23.1). I did screenshots.
nostr.oxtr.dev - this relay when I click by small icon at left where is spam message (a relay from message come to me)
One more example without an auto translation
Now spam has just been pouring tons into the global feed, although I only have paid relays to the global feed. Then I killed the application (swiped it) and started it again - after that there is no spam in the global feed again. There is clearly a bug in the application somewhere. This has appeared since version 0.23.*
Another strange behavior is that spam seems to come from a oxtr.dev relay After that, I go to the relay settings - the global view is disabled there, but the most interesting thing is that the Amethyst shows zero statistics on received messages from that feed. Watch the video.
An expected behavior is that if your relay list is taking too long to be downloaded by your relays, the app will use the default relays to give you some experience while it waits for your list.
When your list arrives, then the app replaced the default behavior with yours.
The same can happen with an old relay list of yours coming before a newer one.
