I’m a noob to nostr! Can you kind people give me some basic detail on Relays, what I need to know and what if anything I should be doing with them? 🙏🏽

nostr exists out of smart clients and dumb relays. the messages of those postrs (nostr user is called postr or nostrich) get send to a relay and they send it back to everyone else, they relay stuff.
you have multiple clients for Nostr,
the pipular one being
amethyst
damus
plebstr
coracle
iris
snort
you do not need any sign up, the client will generate a keypair for you to sign your message. This is amazing as it doesmt require kyc.
Nostr as no algo rithm. you just get to see what reaches your client.
you can also connect your lightning wallet to nostr and send so called zaps, where you send real sats (smallest unit of Bitcoin) to people you like.
Thank you! There are default relays when you start, are there other relays i should add?
Or just stick with what is there?
I did randomly add some from other users, not knowing why I was doing it! 🤣
where is the simplest and most succinct tutorial on how to set up a relay? explain it to me as if I was a child or labrador
