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.

    I haven’t looked into Lemmy/fediverse philosophy so I don’t know how viable it is, but I’d love to see some variant of “X subscribers total on known servers (y from local)” in the future.

    Well, I don’t really pay attention to and I’m sure they’ll make browser extensions at some point. So not even remotely close to a priority.

    This is a huge thing I didn’t know about. Lemmy really needs to show the full number. I’m on .world and even here everything seems really niche and small. It hurts perception hugely
