Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.

    Do we know if Kbin counts active users the same way that Lemmy does? Lemmy only counts users have made comments or posts recently as being active, people who only vote are ignored.

      Yeah, same way. Must have commented or posted in the last 24 hours, like Lemmy

      The largest difference is in “local” posts, Kbin has less thriving local communities than Lemmy. I guess Lemmy has more lurkers?

        That math just doesn’t work out. Lemmy.world has ~25% of its total user base commenting and posting, which is really high compared to established social media platforms. Kbin has 62,195 total users and 61,632 active users. There’s just no way that kbin has 99% of its user base commenting and posting.

          You have a point.

          Maybe then it is over 72 hours or maybe last month?

          Also I’ve seen Kbin decrease in total user count a few times, maybe something funky on that number as well?
