How does everyone measure active/super active users? ie people who have logged in or commented in the past month, for example.
The dashboard tells me the number of visits and comments etc, but I don’t know how to chunk this down easily into actual users. We’ve got 1400 members on our community, but I’d like to know how many of those are engaging with it month on month.
Thanks,
Sian
The data explorer 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
Oo sounds interesting, how do I go about setting that up? I’m not a developer so have no idea where to begin.
See “Installation” at the bottom of: Data Explorer Plugin
These queries will help:
Returns the top 50 posters for a given monthly period. Results are ordered by post_count. It accepts a ‘months_ago’ parameter, defaults to 1 to give results for the most recently completed calendar month.
-- [params]
-- int :months_ago = 1
WITH query_period AS (
SELECT
date_trunc('month', CURRENT_DATE) - INTERVAL ':months_ago months' as period_start,
date_trunc('month', CURRENT_DATE) - INTERVAL ':months_ago months' + INTERVAL '1 month' - INTERVAL '1 second' as period_end
),
user_posts_in_period AS (
SELECT
p.user_id
FROM posts p
INNER JOIN query_period qp
ON p.created_at >= qp.period_start
AND p.created_at <= qp.period_end
WHERE p.user_id > 0
)
SELECT
up.user_id,
count(1) as post_count
FROM user_posts_in_period up
GROUP BY up.user_id
ORDER BY post_count DESC
LIMIT 50
Returns the top 50 likers for a given monthly period. Results are ordered by like_count. It accepts a ‘months_ago’ parameter, defaults to 1 to give results for the most recently completed calendar month.

WITH query_period AS (
SELECT
date_trunc('month', CURRENT_DATE) - INTERVAL ':months_ago months' as period_start,

GROUP BY ua.user_id
ORDER BY like_count DESC
LIMIT 50you could also get in touch with @DiscourseMetrics.com and @Bas (about Community Analytics)
their tools can give you loads of extra stats so you don’t have to do the work … I’m looking at such tools at the moment myself
Up till now I’ve been doing this just in excel - you can export your user data and run a few queries to monitor this. I gave a value to each post read, to posts (replies) and to new threads, then categorised them accordingly
So far it shows 20% are ‘readers’, 25% are ‘participants’ and 15% are ‘creators’
I’ve found that most analysis tools are under-valuing the role of readers because of a focus just on the activity of posting. There is a big difference between inactive members and active readers!
Good luck!
I think you are correct in saying this.
There are ways (e.g. separating logged in/out users, measuring read time, collating paged threads etc.) to guide Google Analytics to do quite a bit of this for you; but it takes some proper GA-fu to accomplish.
Great queries Sarah! Thanks for share.
I updated the query list, if you have more to add, please just send PR 
Thanks again !
I can’t take credit – @simon wrote them.
cómo obtener los recuentos diarios basados en IPs únicas?
¿Las visitas de usuarios de Dashboard se basan en IPs, (incluyendo usuarios registrados y visitantes)?
gracias…
No lo creo. Se trata de usuarios registrados.
También puedes echar un vistazo a What is "user visits" on the admin dashboard?
Creo que esto es similar a lo que buscas. Dado que quieres todos los usuarios y no solo los anónimos, tendrías que eliminar la condición de que el usuario sea anónimo.
En la lista de usuarios, tenemos estas estadísticas:
Nombre de usuario, Último correo electrónico, Visto, Temas vistos, Publicaciones leídas, Tiempo de lectura, Creado
¿Sería posible añadir:
Número de temas creados, número de publicaciones creadas, número de “me gusta” dados, número de “me gusta” recibidos.
Estos son útiles para medir a los colaboradores más activos.
Todos esos están incluidos en Discourse Meta
Gracias. Parece que está ahí para el directorio de usuarios, pero no en la lista de usuarios administradores en
https://meta.discourse.org/admin/users/list/active
Me pregunto si los mismos campos podrían mostrarse en la administración, o si el directorio de usuarios (cuando está deshabilitado en la configuración) aún puede ser visto por los administradores para que estos detalles adicionales sean visibles.
Hola, acabo de ver este hilo, si estás aquí, ¿puedes decirme qué herramientas pueden ayudar a rastrear la participación de la comunidad más allá de la simple actividad de publicación, especialmente para medir a los lectores activos?
Gracias,
Mike Taku.
¿Puedo crear una insignia para estos pósteres y “me gusta”?
