Because the sheer quantity of comments in comparison to the tiny amount of users and subs is nuts, each user would have been required to do ~250 minimum comments each if my hair brained maths is correct, a ratio which far exceeds any other community here by miles, or am I just missing some key context here?

I genuinely have no idea, it could go either way but I’m leaning towards bots due to just how relatively colossal those numbers are.

    Communist shitposters got ousted from Reddit long before the recent API shitshow and made a home here years ago, up until literally a few days ago that was one of the most active Lemmy instances around.

      That makes sense if they migrated here that much earlier, a core userbase that transfers could pretty easily rack up those numbers over a few years.
