The difference is in the active number of content creators and participants. Itβs nice to have a sub with ten million followers but if Gallowboob is the only one posting and his 250 bots are the only ones voting itβs just a popular Twitter account. That is good for ad revenue but shit for interaction.
Give me a vibrant, intelligent, argumentative (in a good way) 100,000 over a passive ten million any day.
As far as presenting raw data goes, I'd be interested in seeing numbers on what percentage of subreddit subscribers are actual active users. If 90% of the 1.5m subscribers on r/rpg are bots and inactive accounts, then the remaining 10% of real posters is roughly equal to the 150k on Lemmy. That is, at least, assuming Lemmy doesn't have any bots or inactive accounts. I'd be interested in seeing the numbers for that, too.
