I didn’t mean Nostr “shouldn’t” be called the platform of the future.
I meant it CANNOT be, YET, as it’s mainly a community of devs.
And as I said, I still hope this can open up. ✨
Hello Nostr community
We’re Superbloom, and we’re working with andotherstuff (Rabble and team) to develop the first Nostr community survey. The goal is to surface pain points and strengthen the ecosystem’s UX and tooling foundations and figure out what should be prioritized for better adoption and growth of Nostr.
The Nostr Community Survey is now live! If you’re a developer, builder, creator, or simply someone who cares about decentralised social networks, this is your chance to help shape the future of Nostr.
This survey aims to:
• Understand what support would make the ecosystem more accessible and inclusive.
• Learn how Nostr can better serve the developers and builders working on the protocol.
• To learn how the community understands Nostr and to identify opportunities for growth and engagement.
🗓: Open: 21 November 2025
🗓: Closes: 6 January 2026
👉: Take the survey: https://survey.superbloom.design/878514
Your voice matters! Have a say and shape what comes next in the Nostr community !

Discussion
Thanks for clarifying, and it’s understandable to question motives in a space that’s still forming its identity. Part of the hope behind this work is to help the ecosystem understand how it can open up and evolve.
As for our role: we were hired by AndOtherStuff to support this precisely because we’re not deeply embedded in Nostr. In participatory research, a bit of distance can actually help. It reduces internal politics, avoids existing power dynamics, and makes it easier for a wide range of participants, especially those who aren’t already close to the core to speak honestly about their experiences. Our job isn’t to steer Nostr but to listen across the community and surface what people need so the builders shaping the protocol can make informed decisions.
If you have ideas about how Nostr can open up beyond the dev community, or things we should be asking differently, that is something you can add to the survey, if you wish to participate. The whole point of this effort is to support the community in shaping its own future.
