For every lemmy 'sub' there's like 1 or 2 users maybe 25 at most.

It only shows the amount of users from your instance if I remember correctly

Yes that tracks

Explanation: Lemmy is not one server, but a big network of different servers. There might be far more ppl subscribed to one community, but your server can only see the ones that are subscribed and have their account on your server. This is for technical reasons.
