The default relays on most clients donโ€™t offer much reach to new users. There needs to be better onboarding flows in these apps to explain what relays are, why they are important, and how to get more and better ones. Users coming from centralized platforms have no idea what any of this means, and usually donโ€™t have sats to spend on paid relay fees.

This is like saying that to get people to buy cars, we need to get them to understand carburetors. The mainstream doesn't even want to look at NOSTR right now. Throwing technical concepts at them before they've settled in isn't going to be attractive, and will repel them more. On-boarding is already over complicated for Granny. Increasing the complexity only makes that worse.
What is the latest relay advice anyway? I've always suspected that I have issues with my relays but it's hard to tell. Do you know if there is any up to date best practices for relays out there?
