The [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin will let you look at the data in a more granular fashion than the basic information which admin\>dashboard shows.

See, for example, [Active users in the last 30 days](https://meta.discourse.org/t/active-users-in-the-last-30-days/275140)
