Filter out "proxied from" events

[smithtim]

I am seeing a lot of "proxied from" events in my global feed. I believe this is controlled by NIP-48. Is there any way to filter out these events? I only want to see events from people that are actually on nostr.

Yes, you can use filter.rhai to reject events that have a tag array starting with 'proxy'. I'm not expert in rhai language, but you can look up how to do things like looping through the tags (which gossip provides in the global variable 'tags').

I haven't been able to get this to work. It appears that tags is being passed as a raw Rust Vec<Vec<String>> rather than a native Rhai Array. Because it's an unmapped Rust type, Rhai seems to be treating it as a "black box":

• for tag in tags fails with "For loop expects iterable type"
• tags.len() fails with "Function not found"
• tags[0] fails with "Indexer unavailable"

Sorry I've been away. I never tried this myself. I pushed a commit to unstable, see if that helped.
