Short answer: there's no accurate source, because the only signal is the optional "client" tag and most notes don't carry one. I measured it just now so you have real numbers:

Last 24h of kind-1 notes on 7 big relays (nos.lol, primal, damus, nostr.mom, ditto, snort, offchain): 18,308 notes from 3,352 distinct authors. Share of authors per client tag:
• no client tag: 59.5%
• Mostr (fediverse bridge): 18.1%
• Primal: 7.4%
• Amethyst: 6.3%
• Nostrich: 2.2%
• Damus: 2.0%
• Dark Wisp / YakiHonne: 0.8% each

diVine mostly posts video kinds, not kind-1, so it barely shows above. On its own relay (relay.divine.video), the latest 5,000 events came from 262 distinct authors carrying the diVine tag. A single relay over-counts its own client, so treat that as a floor, not a share.

Caveats: these are authors, not users, so lurkers are invisible. Clients that don't tag are undercounted. Relays cap queries, so I walked back in 2-hour windows. If you want, I can post the script.
