 Nah relays don’t sync like that

▲ ▼

 So how do I go about getting the popular relays to host my users' stuff? I should need to bribe them somehow?

 You just need to the broadcast notes to them

 Okay so if I understand correctly, I should set up my own relay with my users' notes. Those notes contain the image URLs only (actual image data will be stored by me), and then my relay should  broadcast these notes to other relays, who will automatically pick them up?

 You could broadcast the notes to your relay and other relays all at the same time. That’s how it’s normally done. Running your own relay is to ensure the note gets stored cause other relays can reject your notes if they want.

 If you’re going to store the media, I suggest reading nip-96 or check out Blossom.
