It’s worth noting that Nostr isn't that new—it’s 1/8th the age of the web. Bluesky, in just 2 years (half the time), has grown10 million users, adding more daily than Nostr has in 4 years. A key reason is Bluesky’s developers work constructively on the protocol, and they’ve invested in infrastructure, while nostr infrastructure is neglected. Some excellent devs with grants are working hard, but others seem to have eased off. Many shy away from the simpler devops work, or onboarding fixes, opting instead for novel, unproven solutions.
