This is great information. Thank you.

Preservation of my own notes isn’t much a priority. Before asking my question I thought that a relay use case would be topic specific relays (politics as an example) where users would aggregate.

Further review suggests that running a relay is more beneficial to cultivate the protocol (I don’t have a use case for a discord). For sure I will be running a relay and testing how it works - maybe gather some users at the same time - who knows. This is all so interesting. I have hosted multiple social sites (sharkey, mastodon, IRC) and Nostra is easily the lowest barrier of entry.

We don't really have any mechanism for posting specific topics to specific relays. However, a relay operator could set up their own relay that aggregated notes about a specific topic, and then anyone wanting to go peruse that relay specifically could do so with one of the clients that allows you to see relay-based feeds.

Most folks wanting to post about a specific topic just use appropriate hashtags, so users can find those notes regardless of the relay they are posted to.

I think topic-based communities are a great reason to run a relay, though. nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspr3mhxue69uhksmmyd33x7epwvdhhyctrd3jjuar0dak8xtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7208x3z is the guy really putting work into this usecase with his Flotilla client.
