that's why i say the smartest sharding strategy is to put users on maybe 2-3 relays and then the relays forward queries for stuff they don't have, cache it, and next time can get it

you have to deal with the one hit wonder problem but aside from that, there's no real reason why the entry points to the data set need to be narrow and fast

They need to be narrow and fast, but you can have n number of them. #GitCitadel alone has 6 relays. And I have three local ones.

The clients also sort of relay, is the thing, by querying and then broadcasting.

yeah, some parts of the protocol even encourage that, such as quoting, which in many clients literally uploads a wrapped version of the event inside a new one
