TLDR: Nostr Users should curate a list of people to follow that includes people's perferred relays.

The difficulty finding like minded people should make it all the more clear how much twitter has dominated the converstaion by serving up what they (advertisers/gov spooks/anyone with an agenda) want you to see. Social media is a business (+ quietly a state actor), and the users are the product. It did not start out that way... hopefully nostr will remain free from this social engineering... but it will not unless the users demand it stay free.

I would advise everyone to try different clients and pay attention to the relays people use. Some clients make it easy to see what relays someone uses, while other clients obfuscate that information and users may never even see your posts.

When I find someone who's posts I like, I open their timeline to see who they follow and see who I might want to add. Then I go to my gossip client and add you. (thanks to mike dilger)

As an example, des (npub1mj2…z5r2) I can see who you follow using a client like nostter:
