Nostr has been very active and alive the past few days. I don't have data to back up this claim. It's just a feeling. π«ππ€π»

There are loads of artists here.
I'm super bullish on musicians being active here in 2025.

Past week.
Between dev arguments, Olas, and other stuff....
Busy busy busy.
We have a lot going on.
Gonna need to see some vibe-data that corroborates this claim
Itβs because X is bleeding members since that psycho keeps having Mr Hide moments recently.
Seeing more new people. Maybe some will stick around.
Agree. Lots of new hatchlings. Are clients mature enough and is content diverse enough to keep them around? I'd like to believe so.
What a great time for new spam attacks we have been seeing today. π«
How better to get the full Nostr experience?
Several months later and we still don't have good tools besides saying using WoT relays. Which is great for OGs, but not great for all of the new people joining that have zero WoT.
The last wave hasn't been bad enough. You could filter out account names or keywords. But this attack is new pubkeys with random words. If the solution is "use paid relays only" it might be a turndown for newbies.
i used to fight spam like this, but i was overrun by changing methods. so i set my sights on this can be fixed by β‘
anyone that runs a free relay is spending a lot of time, and then when its attacked like this, bye bye all your users.. happened to me #nyebot
invite vouchers. send an invite to fren, pays for one relay membership.. they dont use it, clawback the cashu. i think this is the way, combined with wot. π
i like invite starter packers or vouchers for small and one on one type of invites, this doesn't really help solve the issue where someone naturally joins nostr on their own.
it can though because look how much zapping happens in introductions..
and how those are just one pubkey and not thousands..
Lots of refugees fleeing the great algorithm massacre of JAN 2nd
1) People learn Xitter is actually really a shit show
2) Olas is a use case I have been advocating for since the beginning of Nostr. I'm glad it's taking off.
3) Rising gif support signals client maturity. π
The GIF insertion support on Amethyst is cool but it's also highly impractical for most people.
Not saying it's perfect, but it's better than 3 days ago not having it. Suggestions for improvement?
Keyword search on any match of the string or URL would be nice. ie If my GIF is named myman and the URL is blah.com/my-man.gif and I just type :man, I get nothing.
It's not searching the url but the name (that needs to be set as by the nip), especially as reuploads to nostr build or blossom and others will change the file name in the url.
But full text search within the name could maybe be a thing.
nothings ever good enough is it #devlife π
Stick with your gut brother πͺ
Def a little vibe shift.
I'm here for it!
Are the nostr dot band stats real? I get the same vibe but then it doesn't show up in the numbers. Makes me question the numbers.
Same feeling here. Everyone is Nostr.
Many will be brought to Nostr.
Time is not wasted here.π
Elon has given nostr a boost whether he realizes it or not! π
Well, I can tell you why Iβm here more frequently. Primal is more stable than my previous experience which included many glitches. I also now subscribe which may be a factor. π
Glad to hear it. Clients are always maturing!

I have this feeling too. The data in my eyes is the reply girl all over the relays and I've noticed some spam in my private DMs.
Nostr is getting more popular.
agreed
My 2yr old has been very active and alive these past few nights. I have data to back up this claim. It's a harsh feeling. π₯±π΄
I thought the same thing
Winter is coming
