For the active member ranking, cross-linking a similar question brought up at [Include Chat stats in Discourse Yearly Review](https://meta.discourse.org/t/include-chat-stats-in-discourse-yearly-review/229302).

At the moment, your best bet is to write a custom [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566) query to fetch activity and present it in the way you want. If you want to show this list to more than admins, you could share the query with specific groups as a report (but be careful about the data you share):

> [@Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer/32566/1):
>
> #### Allow moderators or custom groups to run a query
> 
> You can add groups (including moderators) to a query to grant them access to it. After saving, you can find it from the Groups page for that particular group on the **Reports** tab.
