I appreciate your perspective, but my focus is on enhancing our measurement of community activity; if you have a more effective metric in mind, I’d love to hear it instead of just pointing out flaws.
There are 16M comments per day according to the observer website.
30k communities and 9M posts by day. I find the number of posts by day very hard to believe. Each community would have an average of 300 posts by day and most communities are abandoned, maybe its the bot communities that repost all the Reddit posts that gets the number so high.

I agree, but that might complicate things. Instead of votes we could also use time spent reading posts as the engagement metric.
How about something like this?
Quality Engagement Score (QES)
QES = (PCM * AVU) / MAU, where:
PCM measures raw activity, while AVU factors in community approval.
