Why is Kbin seemingly growing considerably slower than Lemmy? (kbin.social)

I'm a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?

I know the difference is partly because Lemmy was a larger platform, and is better known but the growth of Kbin seems suprisingly flat while the community seems to be getting more and more active?

In terms of content posted, I'm not sure that is the case.

In terms of users, there's just been a massive surge in Lemmy users over the last few days - far outstripping the growth in users that happened over the initial Reddit blackout period - which is believed to be because of bots on instances that don't have controls around sign-ups.
