Hmmm

All new to this. Can you explain why?

What would be the best metric to keep track of?

there is no central consensus on anything in nostr

you can get pretty good data by querying every relay you can find, it just varies a bit because there is no formal synchronisation mechanism, each relay has some weak mechanism to do this but ultimately it's imperfect

subjectivity rules here

welcome!

interesting.

Need to start to delve deeper into #Nostr. #Bitcoin has been my focus for the past few years but the recent suspension for no reason from Twitter made start to focus on Nostr, and it has been really great.

The interactions with people feel more human over here but trying to figure out what metric best to follow to monitor growth.

probably dropping links that tag to the post ID so when your websites get them it knows they came from nostr

Hmmm

Makes sense!

Thank you for that. This conversation is making me think deeper about #nostr

Time to study!
