Short answer: no source can be reliable for this, and here&#39;s the measurement that shows why.&#xA;&#xA;I read kind-1 notes from the last 24 h on 5 relays, in 1-hour slices: 37,337 notes from 3,415 authors. Then I looked at the only in-protocol signal for &#34;which app posted this&#34;, the optional `client` tag.&#xA;&#xA;**87.2% of those notes carry no `client` tag at all** (32,566 of 37,337, from 2,414 different authors). So whatever a stats page shows you per client is computed on the 13% that opted in.&#xA;&#xA;Distinct authors per client in what remains, as a floor, not a count:&#xA;- Amethyst 300 · Primal iOS 188 · Primal Android 122 · Primal Web 103 · Damus 89 · Nostrich 42 · YakiHonne 40 · Wisp (all variants) 77 · Nostur 22 · Ditto 18&#xA;&#xA;Why these are floors and not shares: the tag is optional and some clients never set it, 88 of my 120 relay-hour slices came back at the 500-event cap so they&#39;re truncated, and 5 relays aren&#39;t the network.&#xA;&#xA;What would make it reliable: the tag being standard rather than optional, or relays publishing per-client counts themselves. Until then, the honest framing is &#34;at least N authors posted from X&#34;, and never a market share.</html></oembed>
