All the tools designed to discover different communities seem to disagree on what the subscriber counts and activity levels are. The Worldpolitics bin on lemmy.ml is listed as 2.5K some places, 10K some places, but when you go there it has almost no posts despite being the same size as the News bin on beehaw. It's all very odd, hard to know what to "trust" when it comes to finding new, active bins.
The subcount on any given page, is how many users sub to that community on that instance.
For example, my !gameart@sopuli.xyz community has about 30 local subs on sopuli, but viewed on .world it has 15, and on feddit it has 1.
All of these are correct for each instance, but the total subcount would be 46.
