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.

zinklog@lemmy.fmhy.ml to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 969 points –

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.

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.

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.
