When you say #nostr retention..do you mean a specific client or the entire nostr eco system .. asking cuz in last one month , I tried at least 20 different clients before settling on one each for Android and Browser .. for all the other clients , it would appear as if I dropped off but I am using nostr at least thrice a day !
I got the numbers from nostr.band. I think it looks at npub activity which doesn’t care about which client you use. @brugeman might have more insight into how it works considering he made it 😉
In the beginning, lots of people end up making many pairs of keys cuz they think every client might need one till they discover Alby or something like that .. I sacrificed three nsecs before making sure I have one solidified for all the nostr clients .. I guess the important matrics is NOT early drop offs .. the important matrics is what happens if someone sticks for say three months .. do they find meaning and purpose here !
It’s probably a smaller portion of users who try different apps
l see .. but.. people won't see the value of nostr unless they use their keys across multitude of apps - social , productivity and beyond .. the mantra and usp of nostr is "one login for all your web " .. frankly ..from a end user perspective .. that is the biggest and most heart warming prospect .. trust me cuz I know so many who are so disillusioned with tech because they have hundreds of passwords and user IDs to remember :-) and despite password vaults and browsers offering to make you good passes - nothing works .. I end up resetting at least three passwords every week :-) .. this week it was Hulu , Disney plus and ESPN :-)
