Oh yeah ok, so I was going to figure out to put "H0 : L = 8.2", and "H1 != 8.2, X~Po(8.2), P(c<=X<=c2) => c=?, c2=?" but I left it out because I couldn't format it in a way that looked half decent in a Lemmy post.
I found the critical regions of the Poisson distribution, that takes the mean to be the average comments/post for the fediverse. I then interpreted those numbers, which I where I assume I've made a mistake. As if it was outside of the critical region, that would mean H1, but we know H1 is wrong, since we already have a value for L. It sounds like your interpretation of what I did is bang on. Yeah I get that it isn't a hypothesis test, but at the level of my stats exams - finding the critical regions was 99% of the work in a hypothesis test.
I only took college level statistics like I said in another reply. I just thought it was cool to see all the instances comments/post ratio. It doesn't help that my stats teacher was the most boring man alive, and I was always much preferred the pure side of the maths course.
