Subscribers are not the best metric for community activity, a lot of communities have high subscribers counts but low activity for different reasons (e.g. inactive accounts having subbed a while ago)

Leaky Cauldron one

The subscribers there will soon be 0 as the instance will close in July (https://diagonlemmy.social/post/111137)

And the fediverse is big, I'm pretty sure that somewhere on mastodon you'd find a more popular group of people for this topic than here.

Does Mastodon properly support groups nowadays? That was still in progress last time I checked.

Again, we're talking semantics here. The original phrasing was "popular", not "active"/"activity".

And when I say communities regarding mastodon, I'm not talking about the technical feature of groups but rather individuals interacting with each others in their posting.

"Popular" is ambiguous in that sense, is was not "most subscribed" either.
