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.

It is less active - There's a fraction of the users here on Lemmy compared to Reddit.

There's also likely a lot of bots on Reddit which can artificially inflate how active something looks.
