Hi, Justine. No, you don't need to follow the relay user. This user, subscribed to the relays, starts receiving messages from them and stores them temporarily in its own timeline. If any of these posts contains a hashtag that your personal user follows, it's added automatically to your timeline. Also, every time you post a public message, it's also boosted from the relay user to the relays, improving the reachability.
