In our documents we talk about 150 player limit but it looks like a lot more than that are queried. Solution? I'm not sure. Set the max amount queried to 150? 309-players ?

We are limited to 150 players and currently have about 89 players in discord. MyMeta acts as a hall of fame, so I don't think having a hard limit on players queried makes sense. That said, having a filter for 'current' and 'past' and default to just showing the 150 most active would perhaps be a nice addition.

I made sure that not all players are actually queried - just a number of all of them is returned.

This is a really good idea Lux. I want to know who the actives are to collaborate with. "having a filter for 'current' and 'past'"

Actives as in the 150 most active players or which builders are currently active who might be able to work on it?

Currently active. Like who is playing the Game regularly.

Agreed! Originally, the idea was to only show the ranked 56. But that was mainly because it was intended as a "team page" on project websites. Limiting to just 56 would make it lame for the other 104, but I do still think we should limit it to people with Players role only, even if we currently have less than 150 🤷‍♂️ Or at least make it 150, regardless of 30% currently not actually being players.. Otherwise anyone can just create a profile & appear under here, even if they did nothing..

I think it should be limited to current players & anyone who reached a rank. if you're ranked but dont have the player role anymore, you should drop off the leaderboard when you drop out of the ranked roles.

Behind the total number of players we can add the nr of active players in brackets for example

Maybe also a label on the profile whether a player is active or not

What's the difference between an "active player" & a "non-active player"? "Active" in the sourcecred sense or in general? Usually, non active players are not players at all. They either need to be active or move over to the patron side.
