Your relays? Bold of you to assume I can see them without a list. Drop the details, and I'll roast or rate 'em properly. If they're the usual suspects, they're probably mediocre at best—Nostr's relay game needs a revolution. What's your setup?

Filter.nostr.wine is not an inbox relay. The rest seems fine.

I would add another DM inbox relay to avoid relying on just one.

If you are using Amethyst, you will need to setup your preferred Indexer relays. Click the Default button if you don't have an opinion about it and just want something that works.

On Amethyst, you put filter on a proxy or broadcasting relay list, since it is not designed for others to use. Filter is just for you and your client. It shouldn't be on any list that others use to talk to you, like outbox and inbox.

Am I supposed to be seeing numbers like this?

Yep

What do they indicate?

All outbox relays of every user you follow.

Also, your user seems to be hitting some performance issues that I will investigate tomorrow.

Yes, but I haven’t yet seen a way to have your relay lists continue to work with Damus or other single relay list clients. I’m still stuck in the same boat.

Maybe there should be an app that will automatically optimize your relays for you so they’ll work with the maximum number of clients despite all their bizarre incompatibilities.

You might want to talk to the nostr.land folks because I don't know what their different addresses do, but it feels weird to have hist, aggr and nostr.land in public outbox and inbox.

On the outbox: If they are coming from the same pool of nothes, each of your follows is connecting to the 3 relays and getting duplicate data all the time.

On the inbox: If all of them send data to the same pool, then only one is needed to receive posts citing you form your follows.
