I am getting

It is highly likely they are, I think the exodus from reddit is still happening.
Not sure, but it’s interesting that from here the vote count on this post seems to change wildly once or twice per second. In the last minute I’ve seen it go as low as 5 and as high as 1.1K.
That’s a bug I think, I see it happen all the time.
All the tools designed to discover different communities seem to disagree on what the subscriber counts and activity levels are. The Worldpolitics bin on lemmy.ml is listed as 2.5K some places, 10K some places, but when you go there it has almost no posts despite being the same size as the News bin on beehaw. It’s all very odd, hard to know what to “trust” when it comes to finding new, active bins.
The subcount on any given page, is how many users sub to that community on that instance.
For example, my [email protected] community has about 30 local subs on sopuli, but viewed on .world it has 15, and on feddit it has 1.
All of these are correct for each instance, but the total subcount would be 46.
use smaller instances, they work great

personal instances ftw, network is so small right now servers with an admin and thier friend circle is a big help. btw, running smaller instances is stupid cheap and easy to setup.
ive helped people with no computer knowledge do more on linux than this requires.
Me, dumber than a doorknob:
Is that a challenge
You have options for hosts,
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/read-large-text-files-in-python
Thats your software https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
general process
- rent computer at host
- install asnible on YOUR computer
- configure ansible as instructed in repo (mainly tell it your connection info to the host you got)
- run ansible
- profit
you can remove and reinstall as many times as you need to get it right.
you will also want a domain name, namecheap among others are good, I like to use cloudflare for my application firewall. I can walk you through any of this.
if you can put up with a sometimes grumpy greybeard that means nothing by it, I am happy to show you the ways.
