I realised that earlier but I don't like it, it's just not a very useful metric to the end user if it's not total users lol
Yes, particularly if you join a small instance and are unaware of the community search options that capture better statistics. It will give new, naive users the sense that all communities are tiny and inactive.
Exactly. I kept getting the feeling that there are barely any users on Lemmy. This does almost no good. It's ok to show both but not only the instance's numbers.
