Community admin FAQ
Everything you need to know about running a community relay.
How do I add members to my relay?
From your dashboard, go to Settings → Team and invite members by email.
On Village and Town plans you can also manage the whitelist via the REST API —
useful for bots or automated onboarding flows.
How do I ban or remove someone?
Open Settings → Team, find the member, and click Remove.
Removal is immediate — their pubkey loses write access at the relay level within seconds.
They can still read public events unless you switch to a fully invite-only relay.
Can I set a custom name for my community relay?
Yes. On Community, Village, and Town plans you can set a custom relay display name
(e.g. my-community). This name appears in your relay's NIP-11 identity
card so members see your community name in their Nostr client. Your relay is always
reachable at wss://nostrrelay.com — custom subdomain routing is not
currently supported.
What happens when my community grows past my plan limit?
New member invites will be paused until you upgrade. Existing members keep full access —
nobody gets dropped. Upgrading takes effect immediately with no downtime.
Is member data private?
We store only what we need: email addresses for account login and member pubkeys to enforce
whitelist access. We never store Nostr event content and we never sell your data.
Read our full
Privacy Policy for details.
Do I need to manage servers or TLS certificates?
No. Everything is managed for you — Docker-based nostr-rs-relay, automated Let's Encrypt TLS,
nginx reverse proxy, and uptime monitoring. You focus on your community; we handle the ops.
