So, I got site-wide banned from reddit a while ago due to using the word “purge” on a post and since then I have been using Lemmy more and more. However, one thing that I have noticed is that Lemmy is less active than reddit.
For example, the most comments I have seen a post get is 200, where in reddit I’m confident it would get much more.


Almost 1 in 11-12 is way more than i thought for fediverse - feels smaller.
Maybe reddit is smaller than i remember, or has more occasional users.
Do you know if those stats remove bots?
Either way it’s back yard fishpond vs great lakes and that’s the answer.
