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.
Yeah, just added a bunch of comms and it often showed 0 subscribers while I know from lemmyexplorer there’s way more.
Yes. I’m on a small instance and some communities have 3-4 subscribers. Those are the big ones lmao
For me on my small instance, this YSK community shows 30ish subscribers but 2000 active users per month.
