Rough estimate for number of active lurkers? This is over a 30 day period 🤔 this seems high… this is across the damus domain which includes the relay.
Discussion
it is possible for a 30 day period if you include traffic from back links, search engines etc
yeah maybe cut this in half for a conservative estimate
~700K seems really high... Wow.
Hmm. It's potentially higher if a lot of users use VPN and show as from the same IP. I'm guessing a lot of bots would be using VPN so their numbers would not inflate things too much.
so this includes non-Damus clients reading from damus relay?
yup
And for the #tardstr, “unique visitor” = “lurker” here? Does it specifically exclude unique visitors who sign/publish events?
Impressively stable 🤙
According to our data, it's 1.4M but 10% are feds.
I am no lurker for a platform I believe in
Active lurker Amethyst user here 🙋♀️. We exist, lol.
I mostly lurk
NSA is trying to DDOS you…
An older study but they estimate 90% lurkers

A newer one with a range between 45%-90%

Would make sense?
