    Maybe. Instances full of lurkers … it makes sense.

    You can see the communities that users of that instance have subscribed to from the instance’s main page: communities -> All.

    In the case of parapheum, there’s a few but not that many … I’d expect more given a user base of ~7k.

    If you go to fedidb (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy ) they list the MAU (monthly active users) for each instance. Instances like parapheum only have like 1 or a few MAU. As I understand, to be an “active” user, one must post at least once. I presume this includes comments as well as full posts. If so, there should really be more than 1 MAU for ~7k users. So it’s hard to tell.

    I’ve checked the admins of a couple of these instances, and they seem to be real and have had interactions … so maybe we should ask some of them what’s up.
