I’ve added around 32 relays so far. What I’ve learned through this process is that there doesn’t seem to be a up-to-date list available online, making it difficult to locate active relays. The lists I have found often include relays that no longer work. It seems many people start their own relays out of curiosity or for experimentation, only to lose interest and abandon them.
Now, I understand why only about 10 of the relays are considered the most reliable and popular—they’re the ones that consistently stay active and are widely used by the community and I also learned why it’s easy to spam the nostr network because the spammer only needs to target those 10 relays and those 10 are free relays.
In spite of that there isn’t really that much spam on the network. Most relay administrators on the major free relays seem to be removing the spam, there is a new type of free relay WOT which has drastically reduced spam and of course there is the paid relays which has no spam.
