I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    This is an issue with Lemmy software.

    In some cases, when we visit a community from a federated instance instead to total subscribers of that community, we see the total subscribers to that community from the instance you are logged in.

    Let’s assume !hfy@lemmy.world has 200 subscribers, I logged in from kbin.social. When I search for !hfy@lemmy.world from kbin.social and see the community it might show 15 subscribers. It means 15 people from kbin.social has subscribed to !hfy@lemmy.world. Not total subscribers of HFY.

    Hope this issue gets fixed soon.
