I’m wondering how my community has 10 subscribers, but only shows 2 users in the past 6 months (the community is less than 1 month old).

How did users subscribe without visiting? Are they bots? Am I misunderstanding how these stats work?

    As I’ve heard it, Lemmy only counts “active users” to be accounts that have commented or posted. Users can visit, browse, subscribe (and i think vote?) But will not be counted in the user total.

    There’s also the high probability that lemmy is just not tallying them right… not sure how it handles users browsing and interacting from other federated instances tbh
