Does Kbin and Lemmy count active users in different ways? (self.asklemmy)

Apparently Lemmy counts active users as users that have posted or commented, which means there’s quite a difference between total and active users. For Kbin, the difference is negligible. Does that mean that Kbin uses another formula for calculating active users?

Numbers according to FediDB right now;

Lemmy: 295,910 users, 57,546 active Kbin: 59,425 users, 58,999 active

I don't know9, but I'm curious why the number of users matters to anyone.

I am not everyone, but here is some brainstorming:

A number of the new users are used to several vibrant communities, with less than 20k they might have higher withdrawal symptoms and return to their previous platform. The fact that lemmy users are now ~2m across all the instances, it means that critical mass has occured and return to the old is no longer worth it for the majority of the refugees.

A number of financial analysts really want to quantify how much money they will make if reddit/Facebook/Twitter is mispriced based on the user migration across the last week.

Numbers are good if you want to follow adaption.
