last time i updated on metadata.nostr.com it sent the event to somewhere i never use and could only find on nostr.band, which i then queried with nak and sent to my actual relays..
so that's typically why i would use an app I trust more to do the update, and in amethyst at this time that means general or outbox. i also don't prefer having to publish a relay list of any kind just to use a relay..
