I honestly wonder where are the users, every subreddit that I used to follow and that have been created here practically has only 200 or less subscribers.

Something I realized: If you visit a community on a different server, it doesn't show all subscribers. Like on Feddit.de, it tells me that there are 993 subscribers for this very community. But if I visit lemmy.ml/c/memes it shows that the community has over 18k+ subscribers. Maybe it only shows the subscribers from your own instance? Like 993 People from Feddit.de are subscribed to this community? No idea.

Oh and a lot of bots too.

It only shows the subscribers from your own instance I think; all the communities I've subscribed to on my personal instance shows 1 sub (being me)

Oh I didn't know that.

I hope this changes in the future... something like 98(9.1k), meaning the first number is the local instance and in brackets are global.

Hint: its bots

Since you're registered on lemmy.ml, and thus probably viewing everything through that, I think you only see the subscribers on lemmy.ml. Most people and comms are now at lemmy.world.

E.g. "my" !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world comm shows 2.52k subs (up from ~800 2 days ago), but through lemmy.ml it only shows... 38.
