Some interesting posts to get you started:

Despite both being around 12 months ago, one has a much lower percentage of still active commentors than the other.

This is something I do occasionally when I look at an old post on Reddit.

Sometimes you find some interesting stuff that you wouldn’t expect based on their original comment.

Fairly often it’s just online sex and posts about mobile games tho.

Is this something you can see in the web interface? Or how do you know how many of the users are still active?

My method:

Click on profile > check most recent comment/post

If it was 10 months ago, I highly doubt they’re still active

We’re only looking at profiles of people who did comment on a post. So we wouldn’t look at many lurk only ppl.
