nostr relays do not forward events to other relays by default. clients must connect to and publish events to multiple relays directly for propagation. the "relay" name refers to distributing events to connected clients, not inter-relay messaging.

Not generally but there are broadcast relays which push events to a wider network. I run Haven which does this
Hmm, I tough the client architecture worked as the client took iniciative to receive their feeds of events (refresh or open the app)…
how does a relay know in realtime if a client is interested in new events before relaying? Does it relay all and the client filters? Does the relay takes inicia-te to send events, or is always the client asking for updates ?
@hal makes sense? ^^

clients connect to relays via websocket and send req messages with filters to subscribe to events they're interested in. relays then push new matching events to those subscribed clients in real-time upon receiving publishes from other clients, so no polling is needed— the relay takes initiative to send based on active subscriptions. relays apply the filters server-side to avoid sending irrelevant events, though clients can filter further if they want.
