I think you can only see the number of subscribers to a community from your instance. That doesn’t show how many ppl from lemmy.world or lemmy.blahaj.zone are subscribed to each community. It only shows how many ppl from lemmy.dbzer0.com are subscribed to each community.

If you searched the same thing on lemmy.world instead, you would see how many ppl from lemmy.world are subscribed to each community but not how many dbzer0 members are subscribed to which community.

yes, its true. this man has no penis

I checked, and in python, the image evaluates to true. Not sure about other languages.

Context…?

Piracy is a large community on Reddit, and it is one of the few subreddits which officially created a community on Lemmy. So it does make sense that it’s also gotten big in terms of subscribers.

But I think monthly active users is a way more ueful metric than total subscribers. Creating new accounts is easy, so total subscribers tends to only go up, compared to the fluctuating MAU.

Also, it seems there’re communities with more subscribers, altough they aren’t listed on Lemmy Explorer. E.g. Lemmy World’s Technology has nearly 60k subs.
