Would help identify more/less popular communities across instances.
One potential downside is that the subscriber number actually is just the people who subscribe to that community from your instance and not all instances. This will need a patch from Lemmy itself to fix. As it is it’s a bit misleading, like maybe one Android community seems bigger, but actually it’s just more people from the instance you are using, and not more people overall - there is no current way to know.
That makes it tough to find the biggest communities. I wonder if they(Lemmy) are working on this.
Second. Like the idea. Here is how wefwef/Voyager does it.
Ability to sort by subscriber count too would be nice.
there is a feature request for this on GitHub
yea i added it a couple days ago. Would be great if they implemented something to that effect.
Results used to have this but search was rewritten without it. Maybe planned again?
