In some cases, when we visit a community from a federated instance instead to total subscribers of that community, we see the total subscribers to that community from the instance you are logged in.
Let's assume !hfy@lemmy.world has 200 subscribers, I logged in from kbin.social. When I search for !hfy@lemmy.world from kbin.social and see the community it might show 15 subscribers. It means 15 people from kbin.social has subscribed to !hfy@lemmy.world. Not total subscribers of HFY.

Hope this issue gets fixed soon.

Excited to see HFY in the Fidiverse.
