Check out https://new.iris.to for a ReplyGuy-free Nostr experience. When logged in, it hides replies from people who are not in your social graph. You can display the hidden messages by clicking on the button underneath.

There's also "Adventure" feed for showing all notes from your social graph:

I have worked on it together with the Nestr "decentralized GitHub" team. Nestr frontend and Iris are built from the same codebase using build configuration options for different branding and features. You can easily extend the configuration to make your own branded version. Source code to be released soon™.

The client is based on NDK. Full SocialGraph up to 2nd degree is downloaded on first login, and thereon only missing follow lists are queried. I'll be experimenting with options to go beyond 2nd degree.

The graph is serialized and saved locally in a compressed format, which is much faster to load than it is to reconstruct the graph from Nostr events. My graph consisting of 260 follow lists and 23000 users is 3 MB on disk.

It's still very much work-in-progress and mostly tested on desktop Brave, but it's already my favorite way to browse Nostr.

What's a Web-of-Trust relay?

It's a type of relay that anyone can read from, but only certain people can write to. If the owner follows you or one of the people that the owner follows, follows you, then you're considered inside their Web-of-Trust. You can then write to this relay!

Example:

I follow nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m but I do not follow @billybob. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m however does follow @billybob. Therefore, @billybob is allowed to write to my WoT relay.

Even if you're not inside a WoT, you can still use these relays for reading Nostr content. This relay software also fetches and archives content from people inside the WoT automatically. This means users inside the WoT don't even need to choose these relays and write to them for their content to be available on these relays. And then readers can enjoy this content with little to no spam. Cool.

This applies to all new tech, you can't force it.
