Hundreds of users are going to generate a really, really tiny amount of data (relative to the normal amounts that recommenders get to see).
The problem is that hundreds of hyper-active users who issue thousands of queries are only going to generate a tiny amount of data per document. You will need to have roughly 20 positive interactions per document to get decent performance. If you have a thousand documents, that means you will need an absolutely (and implausible) 20 thousand engagements. Because the distribution will be very lop-sided, you probably need 10-100x more than that. The final result is your hundreds of users would likely need to issue thousands of queries. Each. That seems like a lot. You should get good results for a small minority of documents at smaller data volumes.
