#[2] Do you know the reason for the lag in nostr.band's statistics
feliz cinco de mayo!
The trend matters and linear growth is not enough. As KPI we need exponential growth or it will remain a drop in the bucket aka super ultra niche. If you are celebrating 3M zaps as if it was great news, you know little about adoption curves.
I have high hopes for nostr and zaps and especially the "other stuff" but these stats don't look too promising.
It just suffered a huge dip in active users though
So you’re saying there is chance my notes aren’t bad? They are just falling upon not enough ears? That’s amazing!
yup
Y tú también
There is currently not enough that attracts the average internet user to join & stay. I am on Damus right now and I find my timeline to be much less entertaining than X or IG.
We need more than just bitcoin talk, probably algorithms as well.
If nostr had a CEO and a board of directors, the board would agree with your KPI assessment criteria, and investors would withdraw funds to liquidate nostr and declare nostr dead.
Unfortunately, nostr is just a decentralized protocol. This loose collaboration requires you to like and use nostr. If you have a good idea that can improve KPIs, please build it. We are building it.
For decentralized protocols, slow is fast.
I avoid the "for you" tab on Xitter and IG I never wanted to use at all as yes, it's easy to feed a human with infinite amounts of stimuli but I don't want to be that human.
That said, nostr gets more engaging as you participate and add follows. Most clients by default show only your follows and as you start without follows ... that's dull ;)
There may be a lot of people active in places you don't notice.
It's still mostly Fediverse users now via relay.mostr.pub.
There was a slight bound back from a huge dip
Bring your frens
Maybe. I'm following you.
I haven't used this relay yet. I've used the Japanese relay before, and the Japanese user community is very active.
once again, still trying to navigate nostr but I can say it to the wind out of the sails of pods 4 me....t-y nostr
Maybe you can also follow some users in the Thai community. Very active community
took the wind
I still think u would be an add @ the campfire
passion on line is high I must say......I'm cool but some people-sum people?
Thank you for sharing. "Focus on users' needs, not metrics." Followed 🤙
The translation in the nostr apps is terrible. Makes it better off ignoring them
😂yeah. Then you're missing a third of nostr's users.
Freerse's translation of short sentences is OK. Long paragraphs of text don't translate well. I spent most of my time manually copying to Google Translate. Google Translate is also not as good as Gemini, I don't know why Google didn't incorporate Gwmini into Google Translate.

Awesome, #[4]. Thank you for your great work. 🫂
The previous drop in user activity scared the #nostr OGs. They almost gave up and left nostr 🤣
View quoted note →Not me. I don’t have anywhere else to go though!

we are still early 😝
yep this is the way
Yeah let's pretend it was a test for bullshitness
🤣 I didn't know you had such a good sense of humor.
🫂💜
hey bto. I tried to zap you several times but failed. I see you haven't received any zaps since May 11th. Is there something wrong with your wallet address?
are bobtail cats the coolest or what?!
Followid
🫂
me too followed
this has definitely been my experience. more people using it than ever and interaction with other users is up too.
Absolutely 🔥
I 💯 agree something needs to pop the lid of this … currently a bit of chicken and egg problem, but hopes are high. We might have also just not have the right building blocks yet … but i feel they are on the way .. small incremental improvement until lift off 🚀
Nostr doesn’t need exponential growth, this is not a unicorn startup.
🎯💯
Wait, then what were all those tokens I bought for!?
Exponential growth leads to massive destruction. Sustained or parabolic growth is a mark of health.
Even negative growth is good. That way only the very few that have similar values remain.
As long as 2 people use nostr. It's already won 🏆
Feeds are coming. I think this could change things somewhat. You can also currently follow hashtags on clients eg amethyst. Add mute words and phrases to remove bitcoin slogans for eg.
I think feeds will help a great deal. Seems like they're around the corner maybe?

People do so often overestimate what can be built in 1 year and more often underestimate what will be achieved by a slow but constant grow in 10+ years..
We are pioneer, even the ones like me are just witnessing #nostr blooming without actually and practically building it with code.
We are #blooming while #rooting.. #growNostr

We are so early. We only need 2.
“Social onboarding” will fix this.

The network effects and breadth of content needs to be improved.
I agree, but that is a far more complex problem lol. Could take years, could never happen, especially with twitter being somewhat more hands-off.
I don't think nostr-as-microblogging will ever be its most successful implementation. We are currently just using a dev chatroom for the wider nostr protocol lol. That's how I see it anyway.
This isn't even nostr's final form. As they say.
It may take a while …

> Nostr started out as an open protocol with new “implementation possibilities” being proposed almost on a daily basis. Its popularity grew in the first two years. However, with increasing complexity, development interest faded. It was during these “dark days” that development started to coalesce around what we now know as “Nostr core”.
Shortly after “The Great Depression of 2025” Nostr adoption began to grow, attracting users looking for “online sovereignty” away from the prying eyes of failed governments. This was a time of rapid growth, as new businesses and services sprung up to serve the growing number of sovereign identities.
Believe it or not, the Nostr we know today, the backbone of world wide social media, used to be a scrappy set of “implementation possibilities” that nobody could really make use of. Those were the days.

Having ridden a shitcoiner community usercount chart just like this which turned out to only be 1% real players and 99% bots gaming the platform.. I’d keep my tinfoil hat on for another 4 years
💜💯
Muito bem, irmão.
Real people here carry sats
about 20,000x less monthly users than X, and some posts are still getting zapped 100,000 sats +.
The v4v economy is going to be wild.
I can't seem to zap you
Nice feel-good meme but I'm not here to build an ultra-niche product. I have much higher hopes. I hope we can replace platforms with protocols. Let's not just make Twitter obsolete but also Uber, AirBnB, MyHammer, Amazon, ...
Let a thousand apps flourish that connect people who want to offer something with people that have this something. No more Uber cornering the market with 50% fees. No more Amazon forcing sellers to not offer their products cheaper on their website where they don't have to pay Amazon a fee. No more MyHammer that goes by a different name in every city and I still don't know how to find a plumber. I want a fix and not feel cozy about the same 3 OG nostr clowns I've known since 2022 giving me a GM and a GN every day.
A clown posts and immediately boosts
I share your optimism. We are building network effects with one app's data making other apps feasible. With people getting npubs make nostr integration for legacy apps meaningful but I would feel more secure about my hypothesis if the data would show some exponential growth.
Looking forward to your built products 🤙
Great work!
Same we are just very early and adoption will probably follow a more burst 💥 model I think once and a while like something hits mainstream news about Nostr or something but we’ll see .. only time will tell if our optimism was naive, but I still am bullish 🚀
He might look harmless, but he’s not

He just likes to sprawl out
haha, life is good
bullish on #nostr #blooming
I logged in with extension and clicked on "go to invite" and it linked me to
Meet Me On Nostr
an app for sharing nostr with friends
which gave me an internal server error.
OK. That was just poor timing on my part … breaking the live app when trying to get “link previews” working this am … sorry.
Should be fixed now:

Exactly! Exponential growth is out of the VC playbook and leads to awful decisions in favor of growth at all costs.
Great post 👏👏.
Spread positive vibes to #Nostr frens and out people of here

Nostr's data is growing all the time. I feel more and more user interaction. Don't be confused by the statistics. If you need nostr, keep posting and keep zapping. #Nostr will be unstoppable. I will not stop using nostr because the statistics show that only a few people are active that day. And ignore the posts and #Zap ⚡️ of my friends who are really active. 🫂💜
Daily active users: 13,409.
Weekly active users: 32,039.
Total zaps: 3,059,134.
Daily note events posted: 688709.
People are always scared by wrong statistics. Just like being scared by the data of the Federal Reserve. There are often statistical errors in the data of nostr.band due to data lag. I don't know if it is because the data of all relays needs to be pulled for manual review every once in a while.
Great post. Thank you for sharing 🤙🫡
It also *feels* like it's growing
Totally agree, Nostr just needs to keep building for what the current users want.
🫡🤝 onward
Calm before the storm.

The data here is inconsistent with the detailed statistics below. Maybe it needs to be updated.
Are there plans to show monthly active users and quarterly active users
That's what she said
I don't see an inconsistency. No such plans atm.
Maybe didn't update the data here.
zaps shown here: 2,883,372. Detailed data shows zaps: 3,059,134.
Maybe I misunderstood 👀
Indeed these numbers don't match, will take a look
💯
