What is the minimum required activity? Is this implementation correct?

Hi, discourse is elegant in onboarding users and keeping them informed. I’ve used it before where I’m on the commenting side. So I want to see if I can make this work on my blog, however I got an email:

Hi,

We’re writing to you about your free Discourse site on technicalblog.discourse.group. It has seen no activity for a few weeks and as mentioned in our FAQs, having an active community is required for us to continue hosting your free forum. If you want to keep the site online, you should invite more users and create more topics soon.

If you want to shut down your community, you can cancel service from your admin dashboard.

First, is this implementation correct? I’ve added the embed discourse snippet to my post template at the bottom.

Then for understanding activity: What is the minimum amount of users and/or comments a discourse should get (per x period?) to stay active?

Thank you and feel free to comment..

We’re expecting at least a couple users and a handful of topics to be posted on a new free site within the first 3 weeks. If there’s only one user and no new content we’ll send a first notice of inactivity after 3 weeks, another at 6 weeks, and the site will be marked to be decommission if there’s no activity at 7 weeks.

The free tier is still fairly new, so we may adjust these a bit as we learn.

It appears to be!
