Is it just me or is Lemmy less active than reddit? (lemmy.world)

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.

Ngl, that sounds needlessly complicated. Anyway, thank you for your answer.

    its not, really. and its something you get used to and come to appreciate.

    the city analogy is a great one - every town has its own flavor. many towns build roads (federation) between them so all inhabitants can easily travel to each other... as a city.

    some towns self-isolate or are isolated from other towns (defederated) for all sorts of reasons and, if you want to see what they have to offer, you can set up a house directly in that town or another town with a road to (federated with) that town. it really does allow some very cool places to thrive - like the internet was before it was purchased.

    lemmy{dot}.world chooses to keep things pretty... bland? thats their right, but there is quite a bit of quality spiciness out there if you have a house in a well connected (widely federated) town or decide to set up a few additional houses in some of the more exotic towns.

    does anyone have a federation graph up and running right now? should be easy-ish based on instance published federation lists.
