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.
Reddit is boosted by thousands of bots, and has a significantly larger userbase.
And even though there is higher quantity of discussion, the quality might vary heavily.
