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?
That's because, currently, the community stats that you see in the sidebar are only from your instance -- community stats are currently not federated. Afaik, federated community stats are going to be implemented in 0.19.
But I'm on a one person instance, so that would only show one user but doesn't.
