Higher number of active users?
- sillysaurusx 4y agoYep. Exponential growth over N decades will do that. You can see it in the IDs. HN recently rolled over to 30m. I remember posting a comment about it. That was like a month ago. It’s now past 31m.
- mplanchard 4y agoPossible I’m missing something obvious, but how do you see someone’s user ID? If I click on my or someone else’s profile, I just get a link with id=<username>.
- chrononaut 4y agoI had the same thought and I realized that they were referring to comment IDs. Yours is 31131117 for example.
- mplanchard 4y agoAh, that makes sense. Thank you for the clarification!
