Let's take an example with the following +user cohorts. + + + +For the cohort of March 2020, three users have been added on this server and have +been active since this month. One month later, in April 2020, two users are +still active. Five months later (August), we can see that one user from this cohort +is active, or 33% of the original cohort of three that joined in March. + +The Inactive users column shows the number of users who have been added during +the month, but who have never actually had any activity in the instance. + +How do we measure the activity of users?
