You can use https://lemmyverse.net/ to check actual subscriber numbers.

This is a huge thing I didn't know about. Lemmy really needs to show the full number. I'm on .world and even here everything seems really niche and small. It hurts perception hugely
Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.
Nothing that can't be fixed though, and it's encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).
Another such rough edge is that comments sometimes get posted twice, like your comment
Haha, got a "network error" on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D
Typical Lemmy experience, haha.
Honestly has its charms, gives me the feeling of nostalgia, like we're back in the early 2000's.
Whazzuuuppp.
AND MY AXE!
Same thing happened to me on reddit official android app many times.
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.
I’ve only experienced this while using apps
At a bare minimum it should be called 'local subscribers' to make that clear if there are technical reasons making a total number difficult
