<p>In summary:</p>
<ul>
<li>useR! the conference for users of R <a rel="nofollow" href="https://user2018.r-project.org/" target="_blank">was held in Brisbane</a> earlier this month</li>
<li>it sounded like a lot of fun</li>
<li>and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/neilfws/Twitter/blob/master/user2018/code/R/user2018.md" target="_blank">here’s an analysis</a> of tweets that used the #useR2018 hashtag during the week</li>
</ul>

A few changes required compared with previous reports, due to changes in the <code>rtweet</code> package, and a weird issue with kable tables breaking markdown headers.</p>
<p>I love that the most popular media attachment is a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/drob/status/1014967711036829696/photo/1" target="_blank">screenshot</a> of a Github repo.</p>
