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's indeed way smaller, On one hand it's great you don't have a forever stream of new content, on the other hand it sometimes feels a bit empty, but by posting you help making it less empty.
