If our AMAs were a museum, it would have more visitors than the Louvre.
If you're a historian with a new book and a dream of more than a few dozen people ever reading it, @dhowlett1692.bsky.social is lowkey one of the best people on this website you can follow and be nice to.

As one of the university presses lucky enough to work with Dan on these: WE LOVE ASKHISTORIANS!
Our historians genuinely have a wonderful time doing it & the reach & depth of engagement is A+. Grateful to Dan & the @askhistorians.bsky.social team for helping great history find a big audience.
We would really, really like to highlight the scale of Dan's achievement here. We've always hosted some great AMAs, but Dan has been single-handedly responsible for a huge outreach campaign to authors and forging ongoing partnerships with scholarly presses.

An incredibly pixelated meme that we are also not obligated to have the skills to improve. The meme reads: 'That metric won't stop me, because I can't count!'
Some would say that we're just celebrating natural variance based on a 4-week rolling average that saw their activity metrics decline slightly while ours held stable, but we're historians and therefore not obliged to be numerate.

Subreddit activity rankings, showing that r/AskHistorians has finally triumphed over r/Conservative, with r/confession as collateral damage.
Look everyone we did it!
