Every relay should relay to every other relay somehow. Like radio waves.

I don't understand how topic specific relays can exist.

I’ve wanted topic specific relays since I joined nostr over a year ago, but I’m slowly coming around to appreciate that the architecture naturally wants to spread notes far and wide.

No, we will have topic relays, we just have too few users.

One of the most attractive ideas when I first heard of the nostr was of noting to topical or group based relays and switching relays for different content themes

the most popular clients do not have a ux that lends itself to selectively relay publishing. maybe the way we use nostr will change but I’ve yet to see it.

Amethyst does. Right at the top when noting.

so does coracle.

but neither primal nor damus do.
