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.

I do miss some of the niche subreddits, and the free, often OC, highly cultivated porn. Unfortunately, the real quality porn largely disappeared during covid due to everyone having to monetize their hobbies just to survive.
