I believe because from any instance other than the hosting instance, it shows stats for your instance only. So the 17/users a day you're seeing are all beehaw users, but the 21/users a day you see on lemmy.ml is everyone that follows that community
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.
