Could someone help me figure out how the activity stats on the sidebar are calculated?

I was curious how the activity stats on the sidebar are calculated. I was looking through the GitHub, but I'm not familiar with Rust, so I was having trouble parsing everything.

Would anyone be able to point me to the relevant section on github?

You mean the community sidebar? I am pretty sure it is "how many users interacted", meaning posting, commenting, upvoting, or downvoting. I once created a new community and had one post with 68 upvotes, and the sidebar showed "69 per day".
However what surprised me, 1 minute after I created the community it also said "49 subscribers". Wonder if those are bots or something...
