Ah thanks, ya context is good. All I'm saying is these stats are hard to collect and inherently skewed, wine search is pulling these lists from the 'top relays', then obviously those top relays are in the list. But are they really the top? Probably not, eg. no Japanese relays mentioned, which are probably pretty popular.

Basically I see a list like this and it just seems like a centralization feedback loop.

Most people (not ALL) who are on smaller relays are also on the larger ones so I still contend this is a reasonable sample and fairly accurate though obviously imperfect.

wss://nostr-relay.nokotaro.com is a Japanese relay on this list and many others appeared in the top 50. Several of the others ONLY allow users from JP to connect so they do not have very broad readership.

Hehe, ok ok, can we get a top 100 list maybe? Or maybe top 500? the R&P 500. 👀🤌🤙
