Went to the website link looking for context and couldn't find it so I'll ask here. What is the significance of the blue Halfyear line?
Probably user active during the past 6 months (posting, commenting, ...) vs user active during the past month
It’s just a borderline misleading and useless user engagement metric.
Active users in the last six months. It will drop off when the usage peak is no longer included in the six-month period.
I believe it's there to massage perception 😂
My guess green resets count every month. Blue resets every 6 months. So blue is cumulative of total users cover the last 6 months. It shows that new people keep on coming but others are leaving every month.
