My understanding is that the subscriber count shown for a community is always exclusive to your own instance. Like if I go to !technology@beehaw.org I only see subscribers from midwest.social. But I still see posts and comments from lemmy.world users because my instance federates with both lemmy.world and beehaw.org.
The home instance for the community shows all the local and remote subscribers. Subscribing instance only show their own subscribers. It’s moderately confusing.
I don’t know if the home instance updates its subscriber count on defederation. It certainly should.
Do subscribed users from the blocked instances still count against their communities’ totals?
