Is this even answerable?

You’d need to know all the servers federated with the parent server, and for all of those, know how many are subscribed.

With the way federation works, I don’t think you can know all the downstream servers your post might flow into.

Yea I wasn’t sure if it worked like RSS where you just send the posts out for whoever to catch, or if there’s some way for the home instance to count when a new person subscribes

But this makes the subscriber count kind of pointless imo. It’s kind of important to see how many people really subscribe.

Sigmatics ,

If you take the largest instances and sum the subscribers you’re probably 99% of the way there for most communities. There may be outliers, of course
