Why are the community stats wildly different when viewing from another instance? (lemmy.ml)

For example, when viewing !kde here on .ml (which is the home instance, if that's the right term), it shows these stats

and when viewing through another instance such as beehaw it shows

That makes sense. Just a bit confusing, because it can make communities look inactive and put people off of subscribing when going through the explore tab for example.

The votes are equally f-ed up IMHO. Sometimes you click on an upvote and the number changes wildly..

Yeah, there should really be a way to see the "total subscribers" and other stats for the total number of users from every instance instead of just your own. It could perhaps be a setting that lets you choose between seeing the total stats, stats related to your instance, and local stats.
