Users who’ve become active

data & reporting

With a bit of help from a developer (@aluxian), I’ve adapted one to calculate what % of users, who joined within a certain timeframe, have posted X times, within a certain timeframe.

You could use this to see whether you’re improving onboarding for new users enough to make them feel comfortable posting, for example. @Richard_Millington shares some stats for benchmarking your community using these metrics (at 2:30) here.
