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.

    Another such rough edge is that comments sometimes get posted twice, like your comment Screenshot of two of the same comments showing up in the threadt

        Typical Lemmy experience, haha.

        Honestly has its charms, gives me the feeling of nostalgia, like we’re back in the early 2000’s.

      A similar thing actually happens on Reddit. You can click the send button more than once if you’re quick enough. I saw it all the time.
