I created two accounts on two different instances and all the communities I see have different subscriber counts depending from which account I look. Why does that happen and how can I see the real subscriber count?

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong but here’s how I understand it:

    Say you have two instances A and B that are federated together, and you have a community C in B.

    If you look at C from within B, the subscriber count will give you the number of subscribers from B and will ignore the ones from other instances.

    If you look at C@B from within A, you will see this time the number of subscribers who have their accounts on A.
