Nostr is very much alive, in both senses of the word. I am unbothered by these metrics because I've felt my connections and engagement strengthen over the duration that I've used it.

Same. Also, lot of the engagement has had to move off-Nostr, tho because everyone is waiting for bug-free versions of the apps they want to use to get finished.

That, alone, would be a visible shift in the statistics. And there are lots of other npubs in the same position: off-Nostr, working on Nostr, and talking about Nostr.
Simplex / TG groups are the low hanging fruit ; the rest is a longer road.
It seems to be the opposite, actually, as figuring out what a group/community is and how DMs work, seems to be the hardest and most politically-frought convos on Nostr because they can make or brake lucrative business models.
Bookstuff and gitstuff have been easier, as nobody really cares. 😂
nobody in social cares, it's a business subject more, and nerding subject otherwise
