About AlgoRelay

AlgoRelay is an open source algorithmic relay for Nostr, a decentralized social protocol. Its README describes it as a relay that lets operators build their own relay using a preset weighting algorithm. The stated purpose is to provide ranked or filtered event feeds. The project says it is compatible with the current Nostr protocol.

The feed ranking combines posts from authors a user interacts with and popular posts from across the network. Each post is scored on author interactions, global comments, reactions, zaps, recency, and viral status. Viral posts are dampened so they do not dominate the feed, and a decay rate reduces the weight of older posts over time. Installation steps, supported deployment environments, and operating requirements are not covered in the available information.

Key features

  • Preset weighting algorithm for building a ranked Nostr relay feed
  • Ranks posts by interactions with authors the user engages with
  • Scores posts using global comments, reactions, and zaps
  • Applies recency weighting with a configurable decay rate
  • Dampens viral posts so they do not dominate the feed
  • Includes a docker-compose.yml file in the repository
Best for: Nostr relay operators who want to offer ranked or filtered event feeds to their users.
Good for
  • Open source, with the source code published in a public repository
  • Described as compatible with the current Nostr protocol
  • Balances posts from familiar authors with broader network engagement
