Who knew that needing to select a grand total of one relay, to use as a mailbox, and not-selecting Primal, Damus, Band, or Lol would turn out to be such a challenge?
We have community default-relays on #Alexandria, such as
https://theforest.nostr1.com, but you can override them in the client, just by logging in with your npub.
No, there's no benefit to being on one of the gigantic relays because we all share events on the server-side and clients can follow relay hints and mailboxes. If you post something to theforest, it is all over Nostr in like 10 seconds.
I feel like everyone is overthinking this.
