I'm glad you like it.

If you want to browse relays just do that ("favorite relays" section exist exactly for this, but you can also browse them directly). You don't need to add them to your "read and write relays" configuration, it's useless; this latter section is useful only for the following scenario.

You can see Nostr as you prefer, but it was originally created to replace Twitter, so the following paradigm necessarily exists. Btw, following is just a facilitator filter, like the one a relay can implement to avoid saving trash/OT/spam, so you can happily browse it.
