I'm more than a little confused about relays, for example, lets just say I have two relays, relay A and relay B. I want to post something specifically to relay B in order to keep it completely separate from things that I am posting on relay A.
That's simple enough, I just post to that relay right? But then what about the comments? I've I have both relays set to write, and I'm commenting on content in relay B that nobody can see, doesn't that just clog up their feed with bullshit?

People without relay B would see the comments referencing a post on relay A but may not see the actual content of the original post,so yeah it can be confusing.
Personally i use different accounts with different relays on them and acknowledge anyone that can read my notes on relay B can rebroadcast to relay A something I've only posted to relay B
This happens on Damus all the time. Constantly see reply’s to ghost posts
clients that use nip70, can help with this, like jumble. but users of the relay have to respect it by just not adding it to clients that dont respect nip70

Sorry dude I just fucked your day up by waltzing to your profile and rebroadcasting your post to relays A,B,C,D,E and F(uck your relay choices)
What if they're paid relays though?
If you pay for both, then they’d accept your note when I rebroadcast to them.
The only solution to keep stuff off certain relays is to have something within the note itself that is required for posting.
For example- on the moonboi relay we used a system requiring the # 🌝.
This doesn’t prevent a note from going to more relays then you want it to, but it does prevent the relay itself from displaying notes that are not relevant.
The only solution I know of to prevent content from going places you don’t want it to go is something like creatr.nostr.wine which requires the user to pay the server for it to serve the content.
A relay is just a server that's been downgraded to only serve Nostr events
