They do. But to me the "hub" is just the "hint" on how to get most of the posts/member information. Reaching out to people's outbox and inbox relays will bring more stuff that wasn't sent to those core relays.

But it does make things very complicated when you consider everything users can choose.

Well, we were building new, so that wasn't really a problem. But you end up juggling a gazillion connections and in the end they don't really use their relay lists. They just look at band. 😕

If posts are not there, those connections are basically zero cost. They are just checking in...

But if they are there. Then there is a massive difference.
