How does Kbin calculate active users? (lemmy.world)

According to FediDB almost all Kbin users are counted as active users (62,396 total users, 61,811 monthly active users). Lemmy’s radio is completely different, 347,379 total and 70,438 active. Apparently Lemmy only counts accounts as active if they post or comment. Does Kbin use a different method or is there some other explanation to the discrepancy?

Active users are counted the same way. Lemmy has had lot of problems with bots registering thousands of accounts and never posting

Is it really necessary to post or comment to be considered active? I would think reading a single thread would be sufficient. There's plenty of active lurkers that browse the forum that never post.
