the number of posts is not that bad of a metric. you are confusing it with the number of comments, which would be correlated to the toxic behavior you just described. But, in general, the number of posts in any average community is a good metric for bringing content to the fediverse. If you know of any other metrics (better or worst) just tell... I don't think there's anything else. And a community needs posts more than anything. The comments may come and go, but I see them a bit as secondary/ accessory, and just a symptom of what's going on within the community (in which case, we need to see if they're constructive, positive, on topic, and so on.)
