The algorithm depends on what client you use. Many implement DVM (data vending machines) so you can get a feed based on specific criteria (like trending, most zapped, etc).

Relays are the severs you send notes to. Instead of everything going through a central server run by x or Facebook or whatever you pick where to send them. Anyone can run a really so there are dozens you can pick from. They make nostr decentralized because if a relay operator wanted to ban you, you can just send your notes to different relays.

Relays are also the servers you client requests notes from to populate your feed. There are some cool features in many clients to find notes from your follows even if they post to different Relays than the ones you normally download from
