For posterity, the post in reference is this

Why are community subscriber counts different when watched from different instances?

I created two accounts on two different instances and all the communities I see have different subscriber counts depending from which account I look. Why does that happen and how can I see the real subscriber count?

i’m having trouble understanding how this isn’t a support request. It’s a (Why|How) <confusion with lemmy that has a single answer>.

. This seems to be a post that would help many understand

Yeah, all the support posts are like this. We get the same five over and over, but this community is not for support. I wouldn’t keep questions about knitting in !woodworking@lemmy.ca because they are helpful. This is simply not the place, unfortunately.

Why do you think it’s not a support post?
