The user numbers in Lemmy communities don't add up (jemmy.jeena.net)

2 days ago (see 2) I posted something into the [email protected] community which got almost 1000 upvotes (see 1) while the user numbers for the last week are at 131 (see 3), this doesn't add up. How can 131 users upvote almost 1000 times?

users/day and users/week is from all instances. Only subscribers are from your own instance (so the other two comments are wrong)

The reason is cause that only counts users who have either posted or commented and not those who have upvoted only

Ah that would make sense actually! That would also show that 90% are lurkers.
