Do brand new users that sign up to your instance start using it right away after approval? I've approved a pretty decent amount of new accounts over the months and a lot of them have never posted or commented. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

The majority of our users are inactive. It could be that they're checking it out and think they need an account to access the full thing, much like Facebook,Twitter and Reddit does it?

But I've heard that the lurker to poster ratio could be quite high on social news aggregators like reddit and lemmy. I wish there was a way to see the last time a user logged in. But for now there's the user stats, should show how many active users on the instance.
