Votes unfortunately don’t count

It really should.

Strong agree

I can see the arguments for both, to be honest. Ideally I’d like to be able to see statistics for both. Active Users and Active Contributors?
meldrik@lemmy.wtf 10 months ago
You can already see how many posts and comments users make. Isn’t that the same?
Ategon@programming.dev 10 months ago
I changed the algorithms in programming.dev to take into account voters in the activity. Since stats are all calculted locally you can view any community from programming.dev to get the monthly active users including that change
e.g. programming.dev/c/technology@lemmy.world shows 27.8k users/month on p.d which is almost as much as the value here
meldrik@lemmy.wtf 10 months ago
That’s crazy! User/month goes from only 7.5k active to 27.8k. And that’s just people voting. What about people who only read a post?
Ategon@programming.dev 10 months ago
Dont have access to those stats in the database so adding on voting is the best I can do
Theres a post read table but its only people who have explicitly marked something as read and is way less than the post likes

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !technology@lemmy.world
irreticent@lemmy.world 9 months ago
!vintageLA@lemmy.world

Agreed. Lurkers are what keep these sites alive.
