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.

Oh, that’s a shame :(
I would’ve recommended mods announcing the amount of their subscribers in milestones. But at least it’s more accurate in measuring the amount of active users who actually engage in the community!
The main / 1st mod (i.e. the creator) is likely to have created the community on their own instance, they will therefore usually see the true count.
