I think (as usual) that more relay de-commodification will help with this. This is counter-intuitive, because it means that for each use case there are one or two choke points that handle most traffic.

- Looking for a profile? Use purplepag.es or relay.nostr.band
- Searching? Nostr.land or relay.nostr.band
- Looking for safe notes from your network? Use a wot relay

A new category of relay might be "newcomers welcome, spam managed by heuristics". A relay that's really good at assessing whether notes by a fresh pubkey are worth showing. Clients then would hard-code this relay when publishing notes from newcomers or fetching notes from new accounts, just like they already do for search/indexer relays.

Obviously, it would be ideal for many instances of each relay type to exist, and for discovery of these relays to be automatic rather than hard-coded, and I think we can get there, but it will probably require defining these use cases and advertising support for them via nip 11 or something.

 you may recall me mentioning the concept of event kinds being broadcast also... metadata, follower lists and other public lists like relays and in/outboxes should be blasted by default to peer relays, and a lot of this connectivity problems go away 

 Interesting idea, it could work. I could also see community-focused clients hard-coding specific relays for their community.

In the end, no one should have to manage relays when just getting started. Or maybe ever. 

 where and how find WOT score of any npub ? corable show in profile but sometime balank
