    Yeah the home instance of the community is the only one that tracks the full number, other instances only count their own users

  Interesting, I assumed it just showed the local numbers. What do you see when looking at /c/canada for example?

    You just have to view it on the community’s home instance. From my instance it says 36, but from

    lemmy.ca/c/canada

    It says 6.03k

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !canada@lemmy.ca

    For me, it shows 1 subscriber, 1.4k posts.

    It seems to be entirely dependent on the instance.
