If we only count users who have 5 or more followers (who also have at least 5 followers)... We only have about 4000 daily active users on nostr over the last 30 days 👀

Yes I understand there are many ways to slice data and label it, and this one isn't flattering... But we probably should face it instead of coping.

What we have done so far hasn't worked, we aren't just early, we have been/are turning users off.

I hope we can turn it around soon

reddit style threads and subscription based content creators are prime real estate

Well I’m here, spend enough time here each day, and wildly, there are still people making my nostr work better everyday. I’m gonna stay happy 🚁😁

Nostr isn’t addictive. It’s facing the harshest competition for mindshare and attention ever created by humans. It also takes work to build/curate your community on nostr. Once you hit an escape velocity it is amazing, but people are use to their content being spoon fed to them. They don’t li...

People land, don’t get a good feed quickly, don’t find their people, and churn. Main issues: 1. slow time to value 2. weak discovery 3. fragmented client/relay UI 4. no clear must have use case On top of that, it’s been a bit hamstrung by being too Bitcoin-only. Zaps are powerful, but locki...

lol... nostr works as is for so many... give me 4,000 sources of signal vs. ai driven noise any day. I get that many want it to be the next big thing... but, currently, I could care less... nostr is a big club... and normies ain't in it.

The problem is that previously we weren't doing this: https://blossom.ditto.pub/265ae2d6676b933ede436812da4e458714d751dfad573b1ee17f20c7105c866a.png

That’s 3,976 more active users than I thought we had

How many times do I have to shout this? You can't bring people who continuously see: nostr, bitcoin, I love nostr, I worship bitcoin, let's build nostr and other shit like this.

Tech nerds i spoke in a signal groep didn't like it because of bitcoin. Bs arguments on the why bitcoin is bad, but they stay away cause of it. But they are all into freedom tech, Graphene OS and the sorts. Just not bitcoin.

What arbitrary number of daily users do you think we need for Nostr to “succeed”? It succeeds for me. I pity the people trapped in transhumanist centralised platforms. I’ve been off social media for years and feel no urge to return.

Can you make a badge for them? Nostr bears

Wow, you know I was starting to think this myself. I’ve been on an off NOSTR for a couple of years but for my own reasons in trying to spend more time here. I’m certainly no tech person but I know a lot more than most and when I try to explain NOSTR to people they just glaze over. It’s a sh...

What's the plan?

I don't understand how you make those stats, because in your previous publications we don't see neither Primal or Amethyst appearing. Among the 4000 daily activer users, are those 2 clients users taken into account or not ? Thanks

Sorry no one follows me https://blossom.primal.net/4e0441f9ee9ab3a7ea4d4872def15c66684e8200349b1b44b059da66ad21caee.gif

Legacy SM has been established longer than nostr so it’s going to take some time for it to catch on. We shouldn’t have the expectation that nostr is going to take over the world anytime soon. The fact that there are 4000 DAU reached with no advertising budget or anything resembling marketing f...

I don’t know about the numbers, but I feel that Nostr is a natural fit for people with a sovereignty mindset. Many people don’t simply value privacy (“I have nothing to hide”) and self-ownership (“what if I lose my password?”). If the vast majority of Bitcoiners (people who are running...

this data showing only 4000 daily active users with meaningful follower networks forces nostr to face uncomfortable truths about retention rather than counting vanity metrics. it matters because acknowledging what isn't working is the prerequisite to building something that actually keeps people aro...
