2.7M followers displayed on Threads; 2.8M on Mastodon.
When you visit a Lemmy community, only its home server displays the actual subscriber number. If you visit the community from a different server, it shows only the number of subscribers from your server. That's the reason I put one of those subscriber count badges in the side bar, so everyone can see the correct number.
I highly doubt that there are 2.8M members on my instance (not to mention potus subscribers)
