Anyone ever looks at the global feed in #damus? Only use-case for now seems to be the search functionality to find a specific user.

Why? Is it Noisy? Lots of spam?
Spammy for me, lots of Chinese posts I can’t understand Maybe I’m doing something wrong? 🤷♂️
I'm using amethyst and it's super clean as if a post is marked by 5 people in your neteork as spam then it is hidden from global. You can add paid relays which can help also.
Nostr.wine is one.
My global was insanely noisy before a few changes. Mainly the paid relay. You can also turn off read to some relays in certain clients and make them write only.
Thanks! I added and paid for nostr.wine and followed their guide. But still seeing some spam (did you remove all other relays expect for nostr.wine?)
The marking and hiding spam based on your network seems really handy!
I'm not sure what the options in Damus are, but the goal is to remove arbitrary reading (e.g. for the global feed) from free relays.
In Amethyst, you can set free relays to write-only, so you won't read from them. In Snort, you can choose a relay to read for global feed.
You can also just remove free relays entirely, since you're getting them through the nostr.wine filter.
You can add other paid relays (without paying for them) and you will still see the content that is there. I recommend starting by:
- Remove all relays except nostr.wine & filter.nostr.wine
- Add top 10 paid relays (without paying if you don't want) from https://relay.exchange
See how that goes, and adjust as necessary.
