I'm the admin of multiple relays and I look at the relay global feed on #Jumble. You can go there

Jumble

A user-friendly Nostr client for exploring relay feeds

and select wss://theforest.nostr1.com 🌲 from the drop-down list. That's what I look at. I also have a local relay that pulls in notes over a whitelist, and I look at that. I relay-whitelist people, instead of event-following them. My follows list is just free marketing for my friends' npubs, and a way to confirm my alts.
