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
by pitiunited (npub178u…qrg4)
wss://eyes.f7z.io - notes with the 👀 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.
