Something I only have a theory for and has a bunch of confounders is that the number of comments per post is at an all time high this month. I think without daily rewards to recoup costs, and post costs being relatively high, people are engaging more with others to recoup costs.

I keep almost talking about this -- not wrt March, but generally. I'm like, surely posts that generate lots of discussion are good posts, and people who help a lot of discussion occur are great users but then I'm like, this would be literally the easiest metric in the world to game without some extraordinarily sophisticated network analysis, or, if that's not true, I'm too stupid to solve it in a less sophisticated way.
So instead, I hold my tongue.
