I think the optimal future will have topical relays and clients that post to different relays depending on your context.
If I'm discussing sourdough in the sourdough group, then reads/writes related to that group all go to a dedicated sourdough relay, and none others.
More general-purpose/global relays can use negentropy to pull sourdough posts from that topical relay, and perhaps label those posts to the client so the user can follow them back to the community from which they originated.
