Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?

There's a difference in how active users are counted now, too, so that skews the numbers. An active user used to be a user who posted or commented. Now voting makes a user active.
