Is there any Discourse based community who reached 100k daily visits?

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around whether any Discourse-based community has reached 100k daily visits. HAWK initially responds that they don’t host any such instances, but later clarifies that many sites, including theirs, exceed 100k daily page views. 8BIT shares a screenshot of their community’s analytics, showing they consistently hit 100k daily visits, but have experienced a decline in the last week. YeahBit asks about the decline, which 8BIT attributes to a “cooling period” in the cryptocurrency market. sam mentions that their dashboard lacks a metric for unique visitors per day, but they do track user visits and page views. The conversation highlights the distinction between page views and unique visitors, with HAWK emphasizing that they don’t receive 100k+ unique user visits per day.

Just curious how they made it

Not that we host. There may be self hosted instances that I’m not aware of.

Lol. The OP edited the title from daily users to visits after I responded.

Lots of sites (including this one) get well in excess of 100k daily visits.

Actually, that’s completely untrue. ^ I’m talking page views.
We do not get 100k+ unique user visits per day.

Semantics…

@8BIT as a crypto trader I think your community is informative and I think I can learn more in your forum :grinning: .

I don’t think we even have a metric on the dashboard for unique visitors per day, which is a bit of an omission on our part.

Where unique visitor is defined as:

  • For anon: unique IP
  • For non-anon: user

We have user visits (which is non-anon)
We have pageviews which double counts.

just a cooling period as it relates to the market (cryptocurrency and stuff). when there’s low volatility we have less folks around… but when things go crazy, we get all-time-highs. overall, we’re up and to the right though… and what’s even more crazy is that the forum hasn’t been around that long… it feels like only a few months since i penned this post:
