YSK: Subscriber count on communities only show the numbers of users subscribed from your specific instance. The real number might be much larger than you think.
You can use https://lemmyverse.net/ to check actual subscriber numbers.
Edit: Why YSK: New users of Lemmy can find the number low and think that a community is dead or inactive, when infact it might be a thriving place with a lot of activity.

Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.
Nothing that can't be fixed though, and it's encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).
Another such rough edge is that comments sometimes get posted twice, like your comment
Haha, got a "network error" on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D
Same thing happened to me on reddit official android app many times.
Typical Lemmy experience, haha.
Honestly has its charms, gives me the feeling of nostalgia, like we're back in the early 2000's.
Whazzuuuppp.
AND MY AXE!
A similar thing actually happens on Reddit. You can click the send button more than once if you're quick enough. I saw it all the time.
I’ve only experienced this while using apps
