I didn’t know it was a Cloudflare site, but I was happy to see it’s not running Google’s hardware fingerprinting Ajax scripts that I dislike more than Cloudflare services.

I’m not even willing to visit shields·io¹ because it’s a Cloudflare site.
If so, it might be worth adding the badges to the sidebars.
I would oppose cluttering the sidebar with 100+ stats. Ideally there would be just 1 line:
subscribers (local/fed): 310/22.6K
If someone wants subscribers per instance detail, that should require some deep clicking around or a dedicated site that keeps track of that.
- note that I raised the dot (.) to (·) so as to discourage visits and so my msg does not add to the search engine rankings of a Cloudflare site.

That’s fair, I think it’s only really reasonable to add the one badge for the total subscribers. It would act as a workaround until we can get something like
subscribers: 310/30.6K (local/fed). Or if there’s some reason why Lemmy can’t show the true subscriber count, then this should work.According to the other commenters, the count on the home instance should be the accurate count, so that’s what they should implement.
I was poking around with lemmyverse.net, and I think they might be pulling the subscriber for each community from the home instance for each. Assuming that the home instance does have the true count, that might be accurate? (in which case why doesn’t Lemmy show that info by default if a third party site can do it).
For Kbin, you can use the same site: lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines?order=followers . Although I heard that there are some issues with the data for the Kbin sites, because of API issues of some kind?
As for the cloudflare site, I didn’t know that. If you wanted to use the badge, you should be able to edit the codeblock above and make a new link without opening the site. It would still be pulling from their site, you just wouldn’t be opening it. Otherwise, their repo is here: github.com/badges/shields, and there may be other sites that do something similar.
