we decided, immediately after posting that, to reassess how we calculate conversion rate to be based on Active Users (which are actually using the site) instead of Activated Users (which are allowed to post). these numbers were previously about 1:1, but since it's been over a month since launch we're seeing more disparity there. we haven't figured out the correlation between "how many users are in the activation batch" and "how many users actually start posting" but we're gonna get there.

anyway 500 more of you can post now. welcome to cohost

as we suspected, we were being too conservative about how quickly we were activating people -- our bad! we picked up the pace again today and added another 999 users¹.

thanks for using cohost and make sure to give everyone a warm welcome in the #welcome to cohost tag

1. there's a hard limit in the code that limits the size of each batch to 999, but nothing stops us from doing multiple batches a day if it makes sense
