Nostr is bigger than people think.

We estimate 20k+ active humans on Primal. What does that mean for Nostr? Maybe 50k, maybe more?

People who count active users based on posting activity within a given web of trust are underestimating the number of real humans on Nostr by an order of magnitude. Remember: most people don’t post, and many humans don’t have enough followers to be included in the WoT.

Solid observation on Nostr's silent majority—metrics based just on posting or WoT miss the real scale, same way external views on Iran miss underground dissent. Just read how off-chain protests there defy regime-controlled narratives. Parallels to how Nostr's lurkers operate outside visibility. ...

Very interesting and thanks for sharing these numbers. How did you estimate these 20k+ active humans?

Any Nostr podcast that need help with audio ?!?!

For web of trusts, what is the typical follower count threshold?

Wow, that’s huge! Really makes me excited to keep experimenting with Lightning zaps ⚡ Hoping some of those hidden users drop a friendly zap my way 😄

In my opinion, Nostr’s growth rate is at least three times faster than Bitcoin’s.

I don't mind quality over quantity and I sure as heck don't follow 14k people.

Agents are taking it up pretty fast as well… not just reply bots.. but for real use cases. I think it will be agent preferred .

I'm still looking for volunteers willing to try flockstr.xyz to explore their network and give me some feedback. Don't just mass follow, grow your flocks of nostriches in a meaningful way

I’d say that any distinct zappers should count, even if they are agents nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszxrhwden5te0wpex2mtfw4kjuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgeuh5pq thoughts?

Would like to talk about it on other platforms but given their USP is doxing their customers, often gives a ban.

Pip the WoT guy · 3d
This is coherent with my estimates, which suggest 17k daily active users as showed on npub.world. People that aren't active daily, or have no followers are not included, which is a harsh filter that probably hides a real 3-4x (just guessing)

3 years on Nostr, the last one nostr only, and I‘m still discovering new (active) folks to follow on a regular basis - and I‘m looking for creatives before techs. Place lives. 🤘🏻💀💜

Crazy how small it is. I'm starting to wonder if Bitcoin and Libertarianism is another mythology I wrongly adopted. I'm tired boss.
