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.

      It’s on lemmygrad.ml, which is an entire server of marxist-leninists. But you can just subscribe to it on your current account. Search for it in the “communites” tab. Make sure to select “all” to see communities on other servers, not “local”.

    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.

    As a long time lurker I can say they are incredibly active (which is really impressive because many comments are also of high quality and depth) but there is also one particular bot that archived r/GenZedong and by that added 6k posts and 48k comments alone.

    EDIT: Eh probably not the latter one, since these post/comments went to a dedicated community not the general GZD.

      Hey don’t shoot me just for wanting to know, and know I know it’s because of the archival bot.

          Yeah they are pretty nuts, it’s no wonder they got kicked off reddit, getting kicked off of reddit requires straight up effort at this point as well so it really shows how far gone the hardcore users are.
