Just sort by top of the month, all our top posts range from 1 week to 1 month old, with very few being from the past few days of record "online" numbers.
Anyone who knows how Reddit communities work in the same sense know that when community member numbers go up along with concurrent online users, the post vote counts go up proportionally.
It doesn't seem to make sense that with nearly 1900 users online at once the top post of the day has 214 points while posts from many weeks ago were getting more.
Did we change how "online user" is determined or is there a glitch?
edit:
Tested what people were saying about how "online users" is really just "open tabs"

That and the site is counting users at least 5x over by counting "tabs open" not individual IP addresses.
Just tested it by opening like 150 tabs: https://hexbear.net/post/38707
This means we probably only have 300 people online, not 1700.
Oh fuck, at any given time I'm 20 users then lmao
Although if you closed the browser then continued session those tabs would not be active until reloading.
