I created two accounts on two different instances and all the communities I see have different subscriber counts depending from which account I look. Why does that happen and how can I see the real subscriber count?

    Why did you formulate it so complex? 😂

    The subscribers are from your local instance. The end.

      But is this true?

      If member 1@A subscribes to B/c/C instead of A/c/C then will B’s subscriber count include 1@A?

      If that’s true you would have to say: The subscribers displayed are those subscribed to that instance, regardless of where their account exists.

      Which would mean the most accurate count would be the original community.
