ciori on Nostr: fiatjaf Mike Dilger hzrd149 Vitor Pamplona Talking about nostr user relays ...

Talking about nostr user relays management: is there a best practice in choosing/using inbox/outbox relays and app relays (the ones only used on the specific client)? Are there some articles or documentation about it?

I get one should use few inbox/outbox relays (normal and/or WoT ones), but what about all the other relay types? Search, app specific ones, etc...?

I see most of the clients have this "app relays" that are used "for everything in the app", but why would I use them if we have decided the outbox model is pretty much the one to follow? Aren't they "useless"? I mean I get the need for general search/read relays to search for content (for example global feed and to bootstrap the client after a fresh login), but why the write ones?

Please help a fellow nostrich.
