 I wonder if the Nostr Clients have noticed the influx of folks and are confused and/or delighted about it.

 Well, still trying to figure this all out but I understand a LITTLE better now. Seems like Nostr is compromised mostly of Bitcoin lovers which is honestly kinda cringe so I'm hoping it gets more popular. Questions I still have: 

Is Zaps just Bitcoin?
How exactly do relays work? 
How do the communities interact with relays? 
Is a community the same as a relay? 

These may sound stupid but I have zero previous knowledge of any of this stuff. I'll figure it out.

 Thank you so much!! I do have another question. How do I join or add a relay? How do I know which ones to join? Are there relays for specific topics?

 Yes, and I am desperately trying to understand how all this works! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Seems like almost all videos about beginners using Nostr are bitcoin focused and I have zero interest in bitcoin.
