My #Nostr brothers and sisters, I don't get spam. Here is my relay setup in #Amethyst. Pay close attention to the green arrows in the General Relays section.

This helps!
Disabling damus and nostr.mom is the big brain move.
Also, nostr.wine as Public Inbox is less ideal because it requires payment from the sender to send you a notification, which no one will pay for that. :)
Oh dang I missed that one, thanks. Wonder how long I've had that stuck in there... 🤦♂️
One day I will talk about relays and Vitor won't have to come in and point out something dumb I did. 😂
No clue what any of the other stuff is with the relay listing. 😅
What is Amethyst broadcasting to General Relays? Aren't they just for downloading events?
It will also publish notes to the relay if the ⬆️ (up arrow) button is enabled.
That does not match the behavior description under General Relays. Outbox/Home relays are where your events are supposed to be published.
I know, it wasn't initially clear to me either. nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7eyerqr and nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug had to break it down into simple / small words for me, and I'm still not sure I fully understand it (so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt).
Apparently, it works like this because the "Mailbox" model is a relatively new concept, and not all clients support it. General relays is the "old school" Nostr way.
Yeah, It has been hard to explain this well in that short text in ways that anyone could understand.
Outbox does receive your posts. But that's irrelevant. The reason that list exists is to let your followers know where to get it. The app will send to other relays as well, but your followers should use the Outbox list to get your posts.
And yes, the General relays only exist because of the old model. My current thinking is to add Tor so that the app can connect to random relays out there to download posts via Tor (so they don't track you). Meanwhile, the app uses the General List as the "authorized relays" to connect to and download posts.
And I used to think quantum mechanics was difficult to master 🤣

I really need to do some housekeeping with my relay list
Here's what I have running. Except the nostr.wine in public inbox. That was an oopsie and I removed it.
Compare with my list. I think I have it licked.
Just spreading this around in case it helps. 👍
Not sure how your iOS client will work with this, but here's what I did. Trust me when I tell you that a Pixel with GrapheneOS installed would change your whole Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr experience. They go on sale unlocked for about $350 on Scamazon.
