Every day the room was open

The room's busiest day was in its first fortnight. Everything after that is decline.

Peak was 368 messages on 28 May 2025. Colour marks activity: solid is a busy day, grey is a quiet one.

bopthoughtsHello everyone, many of you might not know yet, but Reddit is closing down subreddit chats for who knows why, which is why, we will be moving to the more traditional form of reddit chats with a mega thread, a weekly chat thread for people to connect with each other. You can already access it on the pinned post on this subreddit's main page.

Every number above came out of the raw event log automatically, at build time. That's the same engine we're pointing at subreddits that still exist. It isn't open yet.
