I honestly wonder where are the users, every subreddit that I used to follow and that have been created here practically has only 200 or less subscribers.
Something I realized: If you visit a community on a different server, it doesn’t show all subscribers. Like on Feddit.de, it tells me that there are 993 subscribers for this very community. But if I visit lemmy.ml/c/memes it shows that the community has over 18k+ subscribers. Maybe it only shows the subscribers from your own instance? Like 993 People from Feddit.de are subscribed to this community? No idea.
Since you’re registered on lemmy.ml, and thus probably viewing everything through that, I think you only see the subscribers on lemmy.ml. Most people and comms are now at lemmy.world.
E.g. “my” [email protected] comm shows 2.52k subs (up from ~800 2 days ago), but through lemmy.ml it only shows… 38.

Oh and a lot of bots too.
It only shows the subscribers from your own instance I think; all the communities I’ve subscribed to on my personal instance shows 1 sub (being me)
I hope this changes in the future… something like 98(9.1k), meaning the first number is the local instance and in brackets are global.
Oh I didn’t know that.
