At least there is no KYC... But can the relays see our IP address..? 👀

Absolutely relays can see your IP
yeah VPN really advisable or run nostrudel client through TORbrowser, Brave/Tor or Firefox configured for onion.
Damn I should have my VPN on at all times...
Obviously the VPN service will then have your IP. It's good if you trust the VPN company more than the bunch of randos that run relays.
Not just relays.
If your client automatically embeds images, without proxying, then anyone posting an image can trivially get your IP. If your client supports the outbox mode, then one can "trick" it into communicating it with any relay, including one designed specifically to obtain your IP.
