> Dean, what do you think is the optimal/realistic timeframe for response. Do you track this - and do you know your averages and how its changed over time?

Just reviewing one sample set of data from a month for “replies within X days”:

> Actually I’m seeing 1 days (78.6%), 4 days (78.6%) and 15 days (79.5%) for one sample set of data - so you could pick a smaller number of days and measure that, Yes 1 day and 4 days are the same.

This is general numbers and not limited to “new users”.

You can review your own community by using the query here:

> Here is a “Topic Participation” query, someone else is going to want to check it though. [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true): [topic-participation.dcquery (v4).json](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/3/130afa2f7737bc0a24ccf29683c7744c70e602e9.json) (7.9 KB) EDIT #1 Updated to handle including rows for month when data doesn’t exist. EDIT #2 Updated to check for responses within X days (default 15) EDIT #3 Updated to: include posts information separated exclusions for “topics created by user from group” and “posts created by user from group” impersonate a particular users view of topics - use an ad…

But if you have a particularly large community you may want to reduce the time-frame to 1 month from 1 year.
