Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

If you don't have a home, Amethyst will scatter your posts to the General Relays. It doesn't guarantee your followers will see your posts, but it is better than nothing.

Defaults are very centralizing. Everyone should investigate and choose their own home relays.

Vitor, could you clarify the difference between a Home relay and a General relay with thr "Home" activated?

For instance, if I set my own relay as Home but keep nostr.lol as a general relay with the "home" option enabled, will nostr.lol still get a copy of my notes?

Home relay is the relay that has your notes for everybody else to get from.

General is where your Amethyst will use to get posts from your follows.

Hi Vitor, understood. Just to clarify my question: you mentioned that when there are no relays set in the Public Outbox/Home session, Amethyst publishes notes to general servers.

My questions are:

1. What does clicking the "Home" icon in the general session do?

2. Assuming I don't have "nos.lol"in the Public Outbox/Home session (but I do have other relays), and I have it in the General Relays session with the "Home" icon enabled, does "nos.lol" still receive a copy of my notes?
