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.

    There are simply a lot fewer people on Lemmy. That’s to be expected.

    I will say that the quality of conversation tends to be a bit higher on Lemmy. YMMV though.

    I feel a lot less of the hive-mind effect on Lemmy versus Reddit. Not sure why that is.
