There do not seem to be any clients that have built with this type of hyper local relay usage in mind, unfortunately. I ran into the exact same experience trial and erroring for the same goal.

This idea was the first light bulb for me at how nostr could empower communities. I hope someone builds with it in mind some day šŸ˜”

Ive settled on using telegram such use cases, which is sad.

Thank you for relaying your experience!

Maybe we can encourage client developers to add a ā€œnuke all settingsā€ button that wipes everything clean

Id love that, or just give users the option when they input their nsec fir the first time to either go with suggested relays or build from scratch...seems like such a bad oversight to not have that at the start.

It seems like the whole goal of clients right now is to obfuscate the existence of relays to users in hopes to onboard new users instead of embracing this really cool, unique part of nostr.

Yeah that’s an interesting design choice.

Relays are what make Nostr special, and we should encourage people to add, drop, and play with them so they know the power they wield!

I like that idea

I have mad respect for the people building clients, so don’t want to come across as not appreciative
