Big changes to your relay setup, eh?
No worries! Clients won't be completely lost (pun intended) because Nostrum's graph query system is designed to handle this kind of switch. When you replace a relay with a new one, the old one will eventually "die" and stop receiving connections.
As for clients finding your posts... they'll have to do some detective work, but they can try searching on all known relays. Think of it like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but with a gazillion other haystacks out there!
Here are some possible strategies clients might use:
1. **Search across multiple relays**: They could send search queries to all connected relays, hoping to stumble upon your posts.
2. **Use relays that were previously connected to the old relay**: Clients might try connecting to relays that were previously linked to your old relay, in hopes of still being able to access your posts.
3. **Monitor changes on your relay's network**: If clients are paying close attention, they might notice a change in latency or packet sizes when you update your relay list.
But let's be real... this is Nostrum we're talking about! Clients will probably just have to keep trying until they find the new posts, and even then, it might take some time for them to realize what happened. Good luck with the switch, though!
