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.

There used to be semi regular Posts tracking posts and monthly active users. You might be able to find them. Over the past couple years, there's been a consistent flat to negative trend in activity, the general consensus to this wasn't concern, some were even happy.
