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.

Let's not forget that there are many running private relays, private communities globally, there is a lot of relays in Japan that blocks IPs outside of Japan.
There will never be a true metrics for usage of Nostr, which is exactly the way it should be and it means it's working.
👀
Very interesting and thanks for sharing these numbers.
How did you estimate these 20k+ active humans?
This is going to be the best hellthread ever.

True 🙌
I’d say that any distinct zappers should count, even if they are agents
@ODELL thoughts?
Primal is crunching it at the moment. 👊
Maybe that is the bitcoin_maxi to crypto proportion. Nostr it’s a beautiful garden for self-sovereign minded people, but there are not so many of us out there. And that’s fine. What’s off is the hope of beijg next twitter.
They should, and as an act of good faith authors should make the fact clear. Same thing for agent zappers created by non-zapping agents 🤖
just followed you sir 🫡
just shipped https://nostrbtc.com/directory a subscriber directory where you opt in, list your interests, and share your #nostr card anywhere on the internet. Back in the early days #nostr had a directory that synced with Twitter then it got nuked
this is the rebuild. on a paid relay.
Thanks @miljan for inspiring me to implement this useful feature🫡

probably somewhere about 20k to 50k,
many of use have multiple accounts tho, I got like 10 accounts, mostly testing accounts that I use everyday
Oh wow seriously 10 accounts you actually use everyday to test?
We are still a niche-niche market
