Yip! The sidebar tells you the number of subscribers in a community. If you're using an app it might be shown somewhere else, but on the website it's in the sidebar and in Voyager it's shown when you choose the option to see the sidebar.
The answer is about 1,800 subscribers to c/newzealand. 340 users active in the last month (you have to vote, comment, or post to be considered active. Looking doesn't count).
Cheers, found it. Actually more than I expected!
I think it's pretty normal for the people who post and comment to be only a small portion of the total users. Many more will be voting but otherwise lurking.
The active users will also include people who aren't subscribed but just stumbled upon a post in the All feed.
Yea, I'm one of those who mostly lurks.
Well feel free to check in and say hi from time to time, we generally don't bite 🙂
Lemmy doesn't have much in the way of tracking users, so if you don't speak up we won't know you're here!
Lurking is of course fine too.
I'll see what I can do. I'm generally the same on reddit too.
Although sometimes the political posts get to me and I need to vent......
Haha I get the needing to vent. I do try to post nonpolitical stuff as with the politics in the world at the moment the political content can easily outnumber the rest and that's not particularly helpful for mental health.
Oh definitely. I just deleted the reddit app from my phone, following all the major other socials. So now if I want to, I have to log in on a browser.
I have the same instances followed here as reddit, but it seems much better for my mental health some how
