It’s bizarre. Apparently my comm has 58 other subscribers. I find that hard to believe as I only promoted it on my blog (which no one reads) and my “bye, reddit” post on a small private sub, and I doubt that there were that many people there who are fans of a mostly forgotten 90s teen sitcom. Is there a way you can find out if it’s just bots? Or is this just lemmy/connect being janky (connect is also showing an extra upvote for each post)?
My old reddit sub had only 1 subscriber before I closed it - me! Hmm, it’s a mystery! With that many subs, I’d expect more interaction than a grand total of two upvotes. Since the rest of the private sub where I linked to this comm haven’t joined lemmy, I think these numbers are suspect. If you could have a look that’d be great, but don’t worry about it too much. At least I’m not getting spam.
No problem!
Also 29 days and one comment - I guess some of the accounts with no comments are lurkers lol. I gotta find a way to count you all.
8 upvotes though. People have to have time to work up their courage!

Edit: it’s still going up (this is via connect)
I think it would be quite odd to have bot subs. AFAIK no other community here does, perhaps you’re just popular?
I could probably get a list of subscribers but it would require going spelunking in the database… Perhaps tomorrow I can look into it.
