That's a really useful site.

I'm not sure why it's showing such a small number when I search for it using my instance. e.g. searching for "games" shows !games@lemmy.world has 83 subscribers, while your link shows 19,400. Is it just showing the number of subscribers from my instance on there, or some number when it was first found by my instance or what?

Yes, that's exactly it. It's an unfortunate product of how the backend works right now, as far as I understand it. I don't think there is a way to see the total sum of subscribers to a community from all instances right now. I think the issue has been raised on GitHub, though.
