Remember my poll about "SN making obsolete Reddit"? Now I look at the SN stats and I find out that the ATH number of active stackers (1242) was in Jan 2024.

We are sooo early, SN is just a small player. But is growing naturally and the flow of new SN features is impressive. All respect to dev team!

@k00b I would like to see (if is possible) on top page (where is the toggle price widget), the number of active (logged in) stackers.

Isn't it surprising that after 3 years SN doesn't reach to 1000 active users/day.

64 sats \ 11 replies \ @Undisciplined 14 Sep

Those are monthly active users. We're nowhere near 1000 daily users.

It is surprising and that we're so different from each other really makes me wonder what it is that makes a stacker.

Shocked! Why? Why do you think such low numbers?

64 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 14 Sep

You can look at the analytics page and see that it's about 300 daily users, which has been pretty steady for a long time.

Think about how many people you interact with. It's much more small town, than big city.

I've never looked at the analytics. It's understandable. I hardly talk 20 25 Stackers here daily. It's perhaps max 50 Stackers spending more than an hour here.

not even a town, just a bunch of lunatics :)

Good point. A rowdy crowd gathered around the local saloon.

We all want freedom, right?

32 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 14 Sep

Mostly, but there are some leftist regime apologists who spend time here. Even so, we're definitely not the only 1000 people who care about freedom.

There are a lot of people who seem like us who aren't here and then some people who seem very different from us who are here. I don't get it.

I have worked really hard to get people I know to check it out and they are very resistant. Much like Bitcoin and nostr. It is difficult to have enough vision to jump into the new thing when it is this early. That is all it is, EARLY. It will take time. When people get fed up enough with their other platforms silencing and controlling what they consume, they will come. I believe it is inevitable.

I agree. It's just fascinating to me that it appeals so strongly to a small number of people who aren't obviously different in any particular way from many more who it doesn't appeal to.

39 sats \ 1 reply \ @DesertDave 14 Sep

I think we are a subset of a subset and yet quite diverse. Its interesting for sure. That is a big part of the appeal I think. It isn't an echo chamber, but its small. Like a small town that somehow draws people in from all over the world. This is powerful. I look forward to watching us grow up together.

I'm sure there will be a few quantum leaps on the road ahead. One of them will be when Stacker News posts start showing up in search engine results.

I don't want it to be seen in a bad way... but I am here at S.N all the time to learn and comment!! since the comments I make in some way if they please others they support me with sats and for the moment it is my first option to be able to accumulate... that yes at the end of the month I do try to buy on my part with Fiat...

In my discreet and new opinion, I have no experience with Reddit, in fact I have, but I have only used it a couple of times.

Now SN, this is something else. Since I started I can't stop being there, it is ADIPTIVE for me, I go out to work like every day and as soon as I return and finish cooperating with the family, to search, read, write, study with SN.

There is still a long way to go, but slow and sure progress is like when Bitcoin fluctuates in price with ups and downs, you realize that it is increasing, that there is no manipulation, that's SN, it grows, as they already said, In a NATURAL way, what is natural is not forced, it is only accompanied, it is worked on, that is what PoW is about.

Master @DarthCoin you are right we are making Reddit pretty much obsolete. In fact we are pretty much the most compact bunch to come out of this Earth. The dev team really is doing their job making all of us relevant in todays fast paced information exchange society. Yes I missed the price widget.

5 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin OP 14 Sep

Is not just a price widget, is also a block number ticker, mempool fee indicator, next halving days. Just click it and you will see.

I feel really good about where this is headed. It feels good to be here early and have a voice In what I believe is the future of idea exchange. 💚

Slow and steady....

on top page (where is the toggle price widget), the number of active (logged in) stackers

In practice it doesn't add much, but I do like the proposal. Makes you feel you are in good company.

I was never paying attention to the names as you never do it on Reddit, unless there is some post like "your name is how you will die" or other stupid shit:) but after your post I've started paying more attention and it really looks like there are 20 people that write 80% of the posts / comments:) if SN does a meet up people can all fit in a pub:)

I am always away from the computer, so if there is an Iphone or Ipad App I would be much more active. Hopefully this gets added in the next couple years! Using SN in the safari browser can be somewhat cumbersome.

Love SN and the people within it!

Can you not use the stacker.news pwa on iphone? I thought that was the point, easy cross-platform use.

This will be a very nice inclusion.

I so love the simplicity of SN right now. I just hope it won't get screwed up with so many unnecessary "ideas and features."
