I open same community directly on Lemmy.world and via feddit.de. Number of subscribers are very different.

Why?

    My guess is it’s showing the subscribers per instance rather than across all instances, as lemmy.world is fairly large where as feddit isn’t as big.

      So, when you see the number of subscribers, that is just the number of subscribers who subscribed from the instance you are currently on? Seems like an odd way to count subscribers.

      But then, nine of this number shows total number of subscribers.

      And if I have a community on a smaller instance like feddit.de I have to create an account on Lemmy.world to check how many people from there subscribed to it? Sounds crazy…
