Notes get re-broadcasted when replied. So, even if they are they will get to you sooner or later.

Ah, this is brilliant. I didn't know about the "re-broadcast on reply" aspect of Nostr. One last question if you don't mind. Is there a way to stop downloading notes from a specific relay but still keep it in the general list? I want to write to public relays and still read from a few of them without adding a lot of relays as inbox. The ⬇️ button appears to be all of nothing at the moment (i.e., if I disable it I won't get posts from any of my General relays)
