FYI, Lemmy doesn’t count lurkers as active users. Here’s how Lemmy counts active users:
An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame. For site counts, only local users are counted. For community counts, federated users are included.

This alone will make a huge difference with other platforms that will hide that info under seven wraps an report any and all accounts as active users.
Reddit with their “subscriber” counts
Who cares your community has 100000 subs. 90000 of them are duplicates or gone.
And mostly bots
Hey the bots are doing their best to repost posts and comments just like any other active redditor!
I really just want to lurk.
You made a comment just now. You’re not lurking according to the how they’re categorizing a lurker.
Honestly, how about this? Every single lurker, commit to making at least one post or comment a day. Call it a social experiment
This is me, lurking 👀
