While stats.nostr.band is good for gauging trends, people should understand that things will be underreported on it.
Most people are lurkers and don't interact, they don't show up there, since it only knows about you when you publish events.
There are probably lots of relays that are not indexed by nostr.band at all. They don't show up there either.
Then individual metrics like zaps and bios will also have reasons for being underreported.
I'm not giving you hopium, the trends will still be more or less the same, but just letting you know that it's hard to measure such stuff on a decentralized protocol.
