Subscriber Numbers, are they instance based?

Hello! I’m newer to Lemmy and trying to figure out all the communities. I found a page where I can browse communities (https://browse.feddit.de/), but the subscriber numbers on that site are totally different than what I see when I search for the community in Wefwef.

For example, this community shows a subscriber count of over 17k on the site above, but when I search in Wefwef, I see a much smaller subscriber count. Why is it different? Is Wefwef only counting subscribers on my instance?

Thanks for any information?

Yes. You see how many are subscribed from the instance you're viewing from.

I think it is based on comments+posts so there's alot of lurkers

There are also numbers for comments and posts which are out of wack. It makes sense that it’s just the instance numbers.
