2 days ago (see 2) I posted something into the !programmer_humor@programming.dev community which got almost 1000 upvotes (see 1) while the user numbers for the last week are at 131 (see 3), this doesn’t add up. How can 131 users upvote almost 1000 times?
But I’m on a one person instance, so that would only show one user but doesn’t.
The number is displayed on the instance the post is on, so it doesn’t matter which instance you view it from (or if you’re not logged in at all), the number is calculated from the active users who are members of the instance you’re viewing.
So you’re running your own instance, and that instance had 131 people/week login? Or did you login 131 times?
I run my own instance. It has one user. I did not log in 131 times into it.
