Nostr Web Client

One relay connects, in turn, to many others, aggregating their notes, as well as propagating notes it receives to them.

This was my next question. If you are connected to one relay... does it aggregate with others and share info.

The question begs tho of how much "power" or ownership /control does a relay have ove the content a user creates.

This leads me to think the BEST way to utilize Nostr would be to host your own relay or maybe figure it out with a few people you trust and want to manage together.

Only relays that have multiplexing/mirroring do that, like wss://relay.nostrgaph.net and wss://nos.lol

power/ownership in what sense?

My question was... if my notes and other stuff "live" on any relay... who is owning and theoretically and practically owning this data? Me... ? Or the relay?

An interesting point to consider.

The maximal way to really own and control your data would be to host your own relay.
