I believe there’s currently a single relay. When there are multiple relays, each will have a different view of the network, and the one that includes more posts will be better than the others.
It might be quite hard to get relay diversity rather than using a single dominant relay, sort of like attempting to get traction for an alternative DNS system. Then, if your posts don’t get picked up by the dominant relay then it seems like you’re out of luck?
But it’s still very early, so perhaps it won’t work out that way. And even if there is a dominant relay, well, GitHub isn’t so bad, and there are alternatives.
