Yep. We have really good queries for activity, which for us means “a local person who has posted / commented in the last X timeframe”.
These are on the site and community sidebars.
Unlike reddit, we don’t gain anything by inflating our numbers, so when it says this community has 84 users / day, that means 84 unique real people have posted / commented in the last day.
For sure… one reason I use that, is because there are a lot of dead reddit communities with massive user counts. Because communities rise and fall, total user counts aren’t really a good way to gauge activity.

Oh, I didn’t realize it’s only users who have posted/commented. That explains the numbers.

Good approach, yea. Stumbling over a subreddit with thousands of users only to realize that nothing’s ever posted is really annoying.
