While I was looking at the cards view of the user directory, which is added by the user cards directory component, I noticed that on user cards of users whose profiles are hidden, the word “joined” is still visible. Since the profiles of new users/users without posts are now hidden by default, it is very easy to reproduce this while being logged out.
An example is Discourse Meta

The user directory doesn’t include data about hidden profiles like the call to user cards normally does, so we have to check another field
