It's been a while since I looked through https://stats.nostr.band so I spent some time there. Below is what I saw with the caveat that I don't know all the nuances on how the data is put together:

#Nostr daily active users seems to hover around 8k-10k. This count goes up when something unpopular happens on twitter like Elon rate limiting posts/dms. You can see this around July 1 when active count spiked to 14k.

The weekly chart tells a similar story with the count hovering between 20k-30k

There is a massive gap between pubkeys and profiles with ln addresses. With how addicting/fun zaps are I think helping new users get immediately set up on lightning would go a long way to continued growth/enagement/adoption.

The majority of users are grouped in the top 7-8 relays

I would expect adoption to continue in waves with spikes when other platforms marginalize users.

I’ve just joined. There’s some of us who are just hearing about it for the first time!

It's funny, I put off joining #nostr because for some reason I thought it would be more complicated than it is. I've been on #nostr for a couple of weeks, and although I thought it would be a gradual transition, I hardly look at twitter anymore. Another thing I've noticed is that #nostr is a more friendly, kinder place than twitter, I feel welcome, and despite not being in a great place at all irl at the moment, I feel like nostr has a positive effect on my mood, where twitter (both algorithm and user attitude) is deflating and negative. It's a brilliant change in my opinion and I'm amazed so many users join nostr but don't end up jumping in with both feet.

Sorry for the long ramble 😊

Same exact for me. When I want to hate, and feel like I’m nothing, I go to Twitter. The other 99% of my time, I’m here.
