Related: What should we do with "does Judaism permit this random special case that I won't elaborate on" questions?
A website promoting a religion other than Judaism has a statement claiming that a Jewish source exists claiming something that appears to conveniently support their own religion (a...
@Alex a few years ago I saw a list (from a CM) that had us something like third or fourth. I think that was average comments per post, not total -- lots of sites are way bigger than we are, after all, so raw numbers don't mean much. Cross-site SEDE queries are possible but complicated. Including deleted comments, which is probably useful, would require direct DB access, which mods don't have.
@DoubleAA I was wondering if there was an earlier post. When I searched the blog for "Tzadok" and "Kabbalah" only the other post came up. I should have tried some variations. But I still wonder about the first point....
@DoubleAA Thanks. It looks like you would have to run a separate query for each site, no?
@MonicaCellio Indeed, Double AA's query seems to give raw numbers rather than averages.
@Alex SEDE queries one site at a time, normally. This post talks about comparing sites and links to a template; maybe the SQL there will help you. I gather that cross-site queries in SEDE are kind of a hack and might time out if you're not careful. I've never written one.
Comments are numbered sequentially as are (in a different sequence) posts. Simplest way to approximate comments per post including deleted comments and posts is to divide the maximum of one sequence by the maximum of the other.
@IsaacMoses (but others are welcome as well) I'm confused with our Hebrew language questions policy. The yesterday guy asked "What are those yuds at the end of the words?" and gave some examples from Tanakh. I would have had many such questions (see my question here about הַמְעַט), and I saw many that were shot down as off-topic. Could you elaborate how much Judaism is needed in such questions? Examples are enough?
@Kazibácsi ignore that the question is about Hebrew. Is it about Judaism or not? In this case, it looks to me like it's about Tanach, but as I commented there, I don't fully understand the question. Is the involvement of Tanach really as trivial as that it's an arbitrarily-selected source of examples?
@Kazibácsi I don't see a question about המעט in your list. Where is it?
There's a great deal of discussion of this "how much Judaism" issue here. Different Yodeyans have different opinions about it. On this issue, I'm generally more on the inclusioni side.
@Kazibácsi Found it. That question, fleshed out, would be incontrovertibly (I hope) on-topic as a question post, as you're asking how to read Tanach correctly.
@msh210 The most recent comment I saw is numbered 305,154 and the most recent post is numbered 93,414. Dividing gives us an average of 3.27 comments per post. Is that what you meant?
For comparison, Stack Overflow is 89,126,736 divided by 51,068,664 for 1.75 comments per post.

I've asked a whole bunch of Meta questions. It seems that almost all the answers or comments that I've received are from the moderators:
Isaac Moses

Double AA

(For example, this post has comments has from all four moderators but none from anyone else.)
Is it a coincidenc...
