Piracy is a large community on Reddit, and it is one of the few subreddits which officially created a community on Lemmy. So it does make sense that it’s also gotten big in terms of subscribers.
But I think monthly active users is a way more ueful metric than total subscribers. Creating new accounts is easy, so total subscribers tends to only go up, compared to the fluctuating MAU.
Also, it seems there’re communities with more subscribers, altough they aren’t listed on Lemmy Explorer. E.g. Lemmy World’s Technology has nearly 60k subs.
