 Yes. Most free relays currently can't handle the spam. People are working on it, but with mixed success. I'm currently figuring out myself what's best to use right now.

 Did you find anything free and cool? Let me know please, I follow you.

 Oh, cool. Thank you mate 
 Damus relay seems to do a good job currently. Remove the other free ones. Try to get on wot relays or nostr.wine  
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Damus is getting spammed to death with imposter spam. 
 I don't see it there currently.

 OK, thanks, I'll try it.

 Feel free to add nfrelay.app , read-only aggregator relay. It has already spam filter to handle most spam like RplyFamily and imposter ๐Ÿ™‚ 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 What you mean read-only? But how to reply and post? 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 You can freely use any other relay to write for example relay.damus.io nos.lol nostr.wine or other major relays. nfrelay.app will fetch/mirror automatically from other relays your notes/events and will store the event. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 But how could I connect to your relay for reduce spam, and still write to major relays? Everybody tells me to disconnect from majors. How does it work? 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 What is your nostr clients? If it is Amethyst you can set it with something like this

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atrifat/nostr-filter-relay/refs/heads/main/resources/relay-setting-amethyst.jpg

"Down arrow" icon meaning is to set relay as "Read" relay while "Up arrow" is to set as "Write". You can set both active or just one arrow icon. 

Example:
nos.lol - write and read
nostr.wine - read
wot.utxo.one - write and read
nfrelay.app - read
relay.damus.io write

and etc. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Yeah, I use Amethyst. Didn't know that it can be tuned like that. Thanks, will try! 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Welcome. Yes, it seems like easter feature ๐Ÿ˜…

You can also check where the spam from small relay icon beside of notes/post
