I went through all of the top 30 relays this morning. I had not fully realized how dependent we are on damus. A huge thank you to will for creating this service. Much of the rest of the network is in a bad state of disrepair. Try it yourself to see. Also help nostr by running a relay, because, without the relay network, there would be no nostr.

This graph is a bit misleading for this point, because if some relay it mentioned in someone's relay list it doesn't mean that relay is important. I.e. current.fyi relay is dead but still around top 5 here just by inertia.

Also how did you evaluate relays? By how much events they cover?

Thanks for the additional info. I just started looking for a few relays to send events to, and expected it to be a quick task. It was harder than I expected. I've now widened the net. Thanks for these stats, they're a great starting point. I think we need more. Also nostr watch is a great resource.
