What does the x/user per month mean?
I'm new here on Lemmy.
When looking at the different communities, I get really surprised at how few people are using it. For instance, the ProCreate community says 4 / users per month. Does that mean only 4 people are being active? Or have I misunderstood?
Thank you in advance!

Adding on to what everyone else has said, the "Users per month" counter counts only the users on your home instance (the instance you created your account on) who have posted or commented in the subreddit this month. The total number of active users across all instances can be seen when you view the community from its home instance.
Really? Because in my private instance, the communities have a lot more users than just 1.
It could be that bigger instances consider syncing the aggregates to be a low priority task, because the user counts on my instances (100-300 users) are much lower than the counts on the original instances.
