Just made this simple diagram to explain how free & paid relays work. You can see the trade-offs of using only free relays: less discoverabilities by others, and a completely useless global feed. At the very least, you should add global feeds from paid relays (they are still free to read), so that you can discover other content. If you want other people to discover your content (people who don't follow you directly), you should pay for at least one popular P2W relay.

Thanks so much for the explanation...🙏

I've been wanting to understand this in order to form an action plan and be able to advise others.

So, would simply adding a reputable paid relay be a good start?😁

Oh, and if I secure a paid relay, can I access it from whatever client I might be using at the time?😮❓

Yep. When you add a relay, you should have a button or option to post/broadcast your relays list. The list will be saved on your relays, so that when you log in from another client you will actually load your own relay list. Relay-ception.

Thanks for the additional guidance.🙏😁

It doesn’t work on the regular Damus version (not TestFlight), does it?
