Am I reading the new users graph correctly ?
Hackernews got 64K new users in 2023?
What is the DAU/MAU If anyone knows
- jonchurch_ 3y agoIt says the number is a measure of users who posted their first comment or submission in 2023. So that, at least, is the correct way to read the graph. That is interesting! Especially considering the true number of signups would be higher based on users who signed up but have never posted anything. Although we dont know how many are spam accounts that signed up, posted, and got banned.
- xnx 3y agoCreator here. I'd love to know the number of accounts created, but that is not in the official data and I couldn't figure out anywhere to get it. It should be possible to get this data by crawling profile pages, but there's no comprehensive list or way to find them. AFAIK there is also no exposed incrementing user id that might hint at how many users were created between two dates.
- eps 3y ago> It says the number is a measure of users who posted their first comment or submission in 2023. This number should exclude bots users that had their first posts or comments flagged or removed, i.e. bots and spammers. I'd guess that there'd be a lot of these.
