I think that is only users who comment/post. I don't think it counts votes or logins. I know probably a majority of registered users aren't active, but I think there are enough to at least keep things popular here at 0.
There are so few votes on even chat topics and the general /c/furry community, which are subscribed to by people not from Yiffit. I think Lemmy is just dead in general, and that doesn't favor niche communities that some people have a vendetta against. I think it's worth asking Wander and the community what their thoughts on disabling downvotes are. This was previously discussed here, but the community and climate was different at that point. It's demoralizing to try to support a small community while hecklers are allowed to interfere - I suspect some people even subscribe to those communities to downvote every post.
