This was the .world one 5h ago, it went from 4470 to 4490 since then. They already had a lot of subs because that community was already made during the initial move from reddit but they had almost zero activity since then.

But yeah the .world community gained <100 subs from this move, and all those subs they had from before are probably inactive accounts.

I would focus more on active users, as you said subs are mostly ghost accounts

This really annoys me, because my attempts to get the high quality gifs community on .world just unlocked have gone unheard. I wound up making a new community on SDF. I guess you need a large subscriber count to get noticed or listened to.
