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 Should Know@lemmy.world – 965 points – 1 years ago

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.

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!
