Need help categorizing the different “types” of relays (according to nip implementation, but without referring to the nips explicitly) for onboarding users.

For Example:

- Content Relay : traditional relay stores text content from kind 1 and other posts (paid or not)

- Archive Relay : same as above, but offering a specific archive “guaranteed not to delete” service with or without a monthly fee.

- Directory Relay : Search user profiles.

- Search Relay : Search content from all relays.

- User Account Relay : Offers nostr names (nip-05, not exactly a relay service, but end users don’t know) as well as (nip 46) key management.

- Media Relay : offers storage for images attached to notes and other content.

Anything else?

DM?

Do you mean “app specific” default relays?

well, 0xchat has its own relay for its stuff

The last 3 arent relays. They are separate services to pay for.

You probably need global relays like Relayable and Purplerelay too
