It depends on what is being called activity

The standard (I say standard but its really just the thing most sites use since it boosts their numbers) that social media uses for monthly active users is to do people who have logged in. This is what mastodon uses as well

While they aren't actively contributing content they are still actively using the site (active account as opposed to dead account)

I think lemmy should match up to the mastodon and other social media calculations so these comparisons actually make sense otherwise were just making lemmy feel dead by calling a different calculation MAU than what people are used to and since both calculations are being compared like they're equal

Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db

Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).

the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it

Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared

old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also voters
both are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though

Yeah setting that to monospace so browser determines it. Should just be two lines, one for each theme

Pull request maybe coming late tomorrow and then it'll probably be in 0.19.2

1 -> yep, to make it a certain language put that language after the first three backticks. For inline you can do it using curly braces after the second backtick with a dot and then the language in it

```abnf
x=4
```

x=4

`x=4`{.haskell}

x=4{.haskell}

`x=4`{.js}

x=4{.js}

2-> https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-highlightjs is the specific one but its basically just a wrapper around highlightjs

3 -> ~~unknown, I didnt mess around with that when implementing them and I dont think it supports it.~~ edit: can probably be added manually by messing around with css. Ill do a pull request after my exams

Yeah that was the plan but had a security vulnerability just brought up so we pushed early

There was some federation issues that are getting fixed plus a couple other bugs that need to get fixed before we update so site behavior doesnt break (e.g. show read posts not working). I assume we would update sometime after Christmas since 0.19.1 is in release clients and so we aren't dealing with maintenance over the holidays

Edit: seems like 0.19.1 released today, still likely after Christmas due to the second reason and so that can be checked to make sure there's no issues still

Alright ive modded you

Heres my copy paste for the days (every day I switch the day and the title at the top (if I send it before the challenge drops I just do insert name here and then edit it later). When https://adventofcode.com/2023/stats hits 100 for both nums then I unlock the thread and put an edit at the bottom saying its unlocked

(text here is slightly different since 0.19 dropped now so my warning about that is gone)

# Day 15: Lens Library

## Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

## FAQ
- What is this?: Here is a post with a large amount of details: https://programming.dev/post/6637268
- Where do I participate?: https://adventofcode.com/
- Is there a leaderboard for the community?: We have a programming.dev leaderboard with the info on how to join in this post: https://programming.dev/post/6631465

***

🔒 Thread is locked until there's at least 100 2 star entries on the global leaderboard

I also add a link to the new post on the sidebar calendar when I post it

Title is in the format

🎄 - 2023 DAY 15 SOLUTIONS -🎄

The title emojis ive been rotating through 7 different ones based on the day of the week, can see past days for ones ive used or you can do your own thing

You should get options in the format

When clicking on the three dots on a post (bar the local pin since thats admins only). Community pin pins it / unpins it and the lock locks / unlocks the thread to prevent people from posting in it

Will unmod myself from here after I see its going fine

(If I dont get a reply back by the stats hitting 100 for both puzzles today then ill just post the megathread to catch it for today)

Thanks for merging in some of my changes <3

Code block support should be great for posts coming from programming.dev and the active user change should help communities feel a bit more alive and be more accurate to actual activity
