If you're using an advanced client such as Amethyst that allows you to configure a multitude of relay options, please check out @Vitor Pamplona's recent article on advanced relay configuration. If you still have questions, drop them below and myself or others will try to answer them for you.

If this is too a bit too technical for you, don't worry, you don't have to use Amethyst. For now, you can use Primal, Wherostr, or Voyage on Android.
I haven't read this yet but here's a question, how do I turn off the reply guy fun? One can only take souch hilarity
in amethyst you can block the URL of their profile picture from your security filters settings or you can reconfigure your relays to use relays that aren't allowing them to post - this includes paid relays and WoT relays.
I've tried, they come back
I'm this close to just leaving
The blocking of image URL works for me, (apart from when there is a slight lag on loading the profile pic).
I would love for there to be a simple 'pick optimal relay configuration' button lol. That takes into account what you have paid for eg if you have wine. Or what you have previously used. Or something . I don't know. I really haven't configured my set up at all. In fact I've failed miserably lol
i don't think we're there yet, but yes an auto-pilot picking of the relays from a pool of relays that meets a specific subset of criteria would be superior for most users.
A little magic wand for people who don't want to / can't do it properly (me). With a little warning that manual would be a better choice but it'll do it's best. I would click that, cos I really can't figure it out:)
love it. as long as there's some transparency, people should hopefully appreciate it.
i don't see them at all and i have their profile pictures block and i have my relays configured to use paid relays, WoT relays, or relays that mitigate spam better than others.
the other option is to use a client that handles all of this quite well for you. have you tried Primal? https://primal.net
I did but much preferred Amethyst. As much as I adore the ethos of nostr based applications, it is worrisome that you have to be of dev quality to overcome spam
Thank you for this Vitor and Derek!
you're welcome. i keep seeing people ask these questions so i figured it was time to reshare his work again.
What happens if I set up those relays on Amethyst and then use another client? Another device? Will I still have a good experience?
they would end up using your "General Relays" and not the advanced outbox configuration ones.
Which other clients use advanced outbox?
Gossip, Snort, Iris, Coracle, Nostrudel, Lume, Amethyst, Highlighter and any client built with NDK.
I think I’m going to buy an Android phone just to try Amethyst
Amethyst is really powerful. But with great power comes great instability. 😂
welcome to the dark side
get a pixel and run graphene to give it 110%
I'm using an "advanced client" guys 😏 (I don't know what any of these words mean)

It looks like your post got hit hard by spammers.
I'll still move my questions here just in case:
1. DM Relays:
* Could someone explain the concept of public but hidden DM relays for people who want notifications in Amethyst?
* Can you give an example of a public but hidden relay?
* What am I giving up in terms of privacy when using a public DM relay?
2. General Relays:
I would appreciate more details regarding the role of General relays. They seem to do more than just downloading content (e.g., Amethyst sends notes to General Relays unless you disable the ⬆️ option). It would be helpful to understand when and why it’s better to add a specific relay as Inbox or Outbox relay versus General relay.
