Any way to tell how much exposure our posts get in other instances? (lemmy.villa-straylight.social)

I have very little idea of how many people outside of villa-straylight can see the posts from here. I was just a bit curious if it's just the hundred folks from here, or several thousand from random other instances

Good to see some anecdotal evidence that people have found us here. From an admin perspective, there's not much of a way to get insight in to this. As you pointed out, the ~300 subscribers is a good indication that there are users from other instances subscribed here. There's no easy way to tell how many other instances have at least one subscriber, but for every instance that does have at least one subscriber, posts from this community could show up in the "All" feed of anyone on the instance, so that has some potential to expand the reach somewhat as well.

Yeah, it seems that everything is more or less working as intended, in terms of how Fediverse functions. If enough folks post cool stuff, subs and viewers will go up. Not that I'm worried about that. I joined this instance as an experiment in joining a tiny niche instance (and I also like cyberpunk stuff, ever since Nueromancer was a big influence on me back in the day), and I have accounts on a couple of the big ones as well.
