Sounds good, I’ll add them later.

I whitelisted everyone on my old follow list and then opened it up to paid subscribers. You don't actually have to write directly to it, as I stream and sync in, over the whitelist. It's a nice relay to subscribe to, as real humans look at the global. So, if you write to it, people immediately see your stuff and start responding. You don't have to be popular or famous or ubiquitous, to get interactions, on community relays. Just show up and don't be so gross that you get kicked off, again. I subscribe to a couple of community relays and I aggregate their streams, and look straight at the global in the client. I use Jumble for that, now, but we're building our own community clients, and I'll eventually use those, instead. People call this a "walled garden", but it's actually the most-effective way for a newbie to show up and get immediate human responses. If you put all npubs into one gigantic stream (which is what Twitter and Bluesky and Primal and Damus etc. do), then people have to stick to looking at follows and lists and etc. The stream is too big and too gross, to look straight at it. Everyone ends up following the people everyone else is following, so the effect compounds. Follow packs and recommendation lists are just subsets of the people everyone already knows and likes (which is why I'm hardly on any). Users not looking at global is why other relays have such big problems with spam. The relay moderators/admins are also only looking at follows, so they often don't see the spam, or just figure out some way to block the spam in their particular client, but other people using that relay keep seeing the spam. That's why we only onboard people to theforest: no spam, no annoying bots, no hardcore porn, no etc. Only stuff we are willing to look at on our own phone. You can use theforest on any client and you never see any spam.
