Nostr retention rate of “real” users after their first 30 days. April was the lowest month so far. March was the 2nd highest.
IMO this is a chart we should all be paying attention to. This isn’t just about building good software, it’s about building good communities. People find out about nostr when it’s mentioned on things like Joe Rogan, but after arriving they don’t see anyone familiar. After 30 days, 80%-90% stop using it.
We are early, yes. We need more than software engineers. We need content creators, content curators, and generally interesting people. Hey…that’s probably you!
Feel free to share interesting things outside of the nostr discussion. And invite content creators you like to cross post their content here. #AlsoOnNostr #YourKeysYourContent

A fair observation.
It’s going to grow organically, personally I think the more on and off ramps exist and the lower the friction the better.
I prefer using keys and secure plugins like Nostore than using username:password for the web.
A single portable account is the future. I shouldn’t need 200 disparate accounts with 200 companies just for doing normal stuff online.
Add Bitcoin+lightning as payment mechanism and you just have more powerful protocols for building properties.
Agree with what you’re saying here. Lots of times when discussing nostr, people lead with phrases like “censorship resistance” and “self-sovereignty”. The peoples’ eyes glaze over at that point.
Instead I think we should focus on the concept and you have one user account that goes with you everywhere. Build your audience and they are with you on every platform. Feels like magic.
Add Value4Value on top of that, and now they have an audience that is sticky and can exchange value with them directly. #lightning #zaps
