My understanding is that your relay list is indeed transmitted as a message between relays - you can see this for example if you use an extension like alby to manage your nostr private key, and on a client like iris.to you hit the "save relays publicly" button, it asks to sign a message that has all of your chosen relays and their read/write permissions.

That make sense. Yeah some clients show extra info on what they do others not. It was pretty handy what you said about iris. Thank you!

Also can’t see your lightning button!πŸ™

This is just my understanding, I could be wrong somewhere πŸ™ƒ

That's odd. I have a walletofsatoshi lud16 address set. Thanks anyway!

Well we know that relays only speak to the clients. And clients only connect to relays. So how clients can know such info otherwise? It seems like a nice explanation to me. Also, we know that messages on Nostr have a tags and β€œkinds”, like kind 0, kind 1, kind 3 etc. so it’s logical that some of this kinds is a list of relays.
