Usually the number of monthly active users is a good indication
Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 21 hours agoPart of the difference I see on Lemmy is that there can be multiples of the same topic area being discussed on different instances with no connection between them and no straightforward method of determining which instance will have the more active discussion.

Of course, but you’ve still got to hunt through a dozen instances to find the most active ones.

Active subscriber count should be the more active one, but I agree.
Ideally we’d have native multi a communities right now, so I could see all of my subscribed Linux communities in my Linux multi, all of my subscribed ttrpg in the ttrpg multi, etc.
Definitely an improvement that could be in place. I think letting the user combine the groups to see would be best, because then you can group how you’d like. Having multiple communities with similar topics is no different than reddit, but reddit has multis.
