@Odo

So going to that instance, and going to its list of federated communities (https://parapheum.com/communities/listing_type/All/page/1) shows a few sizeable ones. Also note the instance's description (see https://parapheum.com/) which is basically to distribute the server load without any commitment to any particular kind of community.

So, could be full of lurkers, or parallel accounts created to avoid server overload that will be soon dropped. So probably some bloat in these numbers, as there are for other platforms too

@Odo

This one is probably more illustrative: https://lemmy.podycust.co.uk/

Looking at their numbers on their home page, it looks like people might be moving off of the instance, but again, people have definitely subscribed to various communites there and might just be lurking.

Here's an insightful comment I ran into, it looks like lemmy.podycust.co.uk / parapheum users don't seem to be making much interactions with other instances.
