 Guys help wtf is a relay?? #introductions 
 Nobody knows. It's a mystery.  
 You can think of nostr as passing notes in class. Relays are the desks in between who "pass it on". 

Every time I post a note or comment or anything on nostr, that gets sent to the relays I'm connected to. Those relays then serve up my note to everyone else that's also connected to that relay.  
 Think of it as a server that sends a message to other servers. The more servers(relays) you have connected, the less likely you can be censored. They would have to take down all those servers (relays) you connected to in order to censor you.

 It's just a server that you connect to. Check my notes. I have a banger explanation from earlier today. 
 I got you! This convo is an excellent starting place 👇👇
