I imagine it's difficult to determine. You can approximate based on the biggest relays to establish a minimum, but there's a fluidity to nostr right now that makes it difficult. Do you track event timestamps? What about delayed notes or NIPs that protect privacy by obscuring the true time? Do you track identities that post in a timeframe? What about people with multiple identities, which are trivial to create on nostr? Do you track connections to the relays for true signs of activity? How do you get relays to collaborate and share this jnfo so we can compile it, especially without pissing off people that value privacy?

I'm sure we'll decide on a decent metric for activity, but it'll be very difficult to come up with numbers that are both precise and accurate.
