  • I asked this question on one of my Lemmy alts (still playing around if I prefer lemmy or kbin) and what I was told is the stats you are seeing when you view an external instance are the subscribers from YOUR instance. So you are viewing a lemmy.world magazine/community through kbin, the 92 is kbin subscribers for that community. To get the real number you need to view the stats on the original instance (the 1000 you saw).

    I think its a pretty big flaw with the fediverse software right now and I think should be a priority fix (if it is at all possible to do that). Makes magazines/communities look inactive when you are searching for them on your instance if they are external. It drives people away from subscribing (I know it did me when I didn’t understand it at first) when you do a search on your instance as you just think there is no activity and don’t even bother clicking it. I imagine it would get pretty extreme if you host your own private lemmy or kbin and when searching for things to subscribe to on your instance, everything looks empty.



  • This is the way. Over the years I’ve swapped between torrents and Usenet, but ever since I found out about Debrid a few months ago, I knew it was the peak of piracy. Cheaper than buying a VPN (which are usually very cheap already) or buying everything you need to interact with Usenet. The cached downloads is the killer feature as most torrents you will download, someone has already done it before you, so its just an immediate HTTP download for you (meaning even if a torrent looks dead based on seeders, that doesn’t matter).

    Highly recommend everyone check out a Debrid service!
