For every lemmy 'sub' there's like 1 or 2 users maybe 25 at most.

It takes a long time for sites to build up a large userbase, especially when there isn't much to differentiate it from close competitors. Lemmy from your average user's perspective is Reddit but with no ads and less content. Measure that against Reddit and your average community is going to struggle to reach the size of its Reddit counterpart. Unless, of course, its Reddit counterpart got the banhammer.
