I wonder if we just happen to follow people that for one reason or another, are not active anymore, and that the activity which the numbers show is happening somewhere else. I'm looking forwards to seeing what you find out.

Possibly, I tend to follow very few and that's part of my problem as I try to follow users that posts stuff I will read not as much following people I like.
I am going to do some digging, but not sure I'll figure this one out. The activity is definitely happening elsewhere if it was a group of users I could easily find it. But since it is unique users, that's really hard to visualize patterns for.
follow too many and you get lost in posts and resteems; follow too few and there isnt anybody to engage with. the way curation rewards and "post longevity" are set up with aren't really conducive to long term discussion or keeping up with any post thats over an hour old
