Thats great but not applicable for new users right, since they don’t have a following list yet, right?
The concept should also include the follower list, to make sure you reach your audience or is it included in the same list?

Of course, new users would have to bootstrap somehow in a more centralized way, I guess. Thing is, relay subscription could evolve in the background without the user noticing. Just making sure to keep in touch with the most people with the least possible amount of subscriptions.
I’d still keep a list of relays, so that the client can start quick, without needing to download a ton of profiles doing so.
I also see smart clients noticing a much needed relay becomes unstable or down, and replace it with another automatically.
As power users, it’s OK we can select relays in the current nostr state, but least technical people won’t want to tinker with this, or even know it exists.
Should just feel like magic. ✨
Yes agree. However, I think the option for manual management should still be there, just to endure censorship resistance. If you take the choice away of choosing your relays manually means that controlling your relays = controlling you. Even so most people won’t use it anyway. Or do I miss something?
*to ensure
Sounds like the perfect solution to me 🤙
