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.

Are you sure? I don’t think so. It shows users with data on the instance. A one subscriber instance will still show hundreds or thousands depending on how much federated content there is.
For me on my small instance, this YSK community shows 30ish subscribers but 2000 active users per month.
Yes. I’m on a small instance and some communities have 3-4 subscribers. Those are the big ones lmao
Yeah, just added a bunch of comms and it often showed 0 subscribers while I know from lemmyexplorer there’s way more.
