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.

So, you're leaving out the details as to why you really got banned. It's not because of the word itself, you used it in a context you knowingly placed it in.

We don't need millions of users to thrive as a community.
