From what I could find on my own with a couple minutes of research (currently at school) I know there's at least two independent relays active, the WhiteWind one and the BlackSky one. There's a blogpost written by the WhiteWind developers about the performance costs of running a Relay, and checking it out again I see they mention the recent update to improve performance at the top of the page now.
I said this before but since learning how they work on a conceptual surface level I've liked and felt more optimistic about ATProto than ActivityPub. I think I misspoke in the way I described how I felt about the Fediverse and gave the wrong idea about what I think. But I don't want to make this reply longer than it has to be.
I'm not going to say either is better than the other, from what I can tell it's just two different models of decentralization that are radically different, but I like ATProto's approach more What I am going to say though is that I do wish there were more ATProto based services, and I find it odd how ATProto and Bluesky have not seen the same sprawl of clients and services ActivityPub has, but that may just be a question of age (as iirc AP is much older than ATProto). Bluesky's got its fair share of Clients but AP honestly puts it to shame, I genuinely wonder why.
