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.

    This is a huge thing I didn’t know about. Lemmy really needs to show the full number. I’m on .world and even here everything seems really niche and small. It hurts perception hugely

      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).

          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

          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.

      At a bare minimum it should be called ‘local subscribers’ to make that clear if there are technical reasons making a total number difficult
