If the relay isn’t a part of your list you won’t see posts from it. What am I missing?
Discussion
Depends on the app, some pick up and read from relays they see others mention. They write to the ones you specify but read from tons. Some apps only read from the specific relays in your list.
i think i see what you are saying. basically any notes on the blocked relay you want to be filtered out of the collated feed of notes from all other relays. i guess it could be done by a client but it seems like it would be a rarely used feature
ah yeah I see, interesting problem. potentially lists can solve for this? There’s already the NIP for muting pubkeys, maybe this could be extended to relays
A lot of client's rebroadcast automatically or from interaction. You’re not signing permission to just the relay you are broadcasting to. Most client's rebroadcast automatically or when you interact with content. So you only have Eden, you note “this should only be seen on eden” and a couple minutes later everyone sees it anyways.
