RELAYS HAVE EVOLVED!
Nostr relays have evolved beyond their initial role as dumb pipes or simple databases. Today, the Nostr ecosystem is home to a variety of specialized relays, each offering unique functionalities.
What unique relays exist on Nostr? Here are a few:
wss://gm.swarmstr.com - A relay for GMs only
wss://catstrr.swarmstr.com - Cat pics and content about cats
wss://questions.swarmstr.com - A questions only relay

wss://eyes.f7z.io - notes with the ๐ emoji only
wss://140.f7z.io - 140 character max notes, like Twitter's old policy

wss://algo.utxo.one - a new type of algorithm based relay
This type of relay category is very new, but will grow over time.

And then we have WoT relays or relays that operate with a Web-of-Trust, brining less spam to users in a more trusted and safer environment. Here are several WoT relays:
wss://wot.utxo.one
wss://nostrelites.org
wss://wot.nostr.party
wss://wot.sovbit.host
wss://wot.girino.org
wss://relay.lnau.net
wss://wot.siamstr.com
wss://relay.lexingtonbitcoin.org
wss://wot.azzamo.net
wss://wot.swarmstr.com
wss://zap.watch
wss://satsage.xyz
wss://wons.calva.dev
wss://wot.zacoos.com
wss://wot.shaving.kiwi
wss://wot.tealeaf.dev
wss://wot.nostr.net
wss://relay.goodmorningbitcoin.com
To fully leverage these relay advancements, we now need new sets tools that can make the most of these new features. It's time for relay management and relay explorers to take on a more prominent role within our clients. These tools can help users discover, explore, and even rate relays, encouraging greater decentralization of content on Nostr. This also opens up exciting new opportunities for how users find, engage with, and share information in new and unique ways.
I liked the dumb pipes
I tried this one. Unintuitive, complex, no fun.
Rust has failed me. Installing Go.
Graham Hancock on Lex. Hell yeah.
Go run shirtless. The sun will boost you haha
Not fast enough. I think I'll buy a fitness watch just to improve my pacing.
First time measuring my run. I did 5km in 25min ๐ซกโ ๏ธ
Most people only use one account.

I will check out how to do this for the next release.
Thank you for the feedback. Voyage is supposed to be text only so I don't think I will add it, at least in the near future. Even if I would, the media experience on other clients will always be better.
A new standard for writing replies. Mobile data usage of fetching feeds will go down a lot if every client starts using this standard.
