Which is nearly double XD
Relative growth, in absolute numbers....not so much. The concerning issue at this juncture is that it is well over the average time of a campaign, and PF1E is still many times more active.

I mean, it's grown, but it's still a fraction of the active PF1E community, and smaller than other RPG Subreddits, like Call of Cthulu.
It's not that nobody plays it, or is buying it, but it is not what Pathfinder was, or could have been.

Also worth pointing out is that rules discussion of PF2 also transpires on r/Pathfinder_RPG, so the higher activity in the general PF subreddit also includes PF2 related activity too.It's a fraction of the subscribers, but it's not too far off in terms of activity (and hey, there's still 2E activity on that subreddit anyways). To look at the stats:
This is comments per day, with Green as r/Pathfinder_RPG, Orange as r/Pathfinder2e, and blue as r/callofcthulhu. As you can see, the Pathfinder subs are fairly comparable while CoC has significantly less engagement.

As you can see, while one has 4 times as many subscribers, it's not really too far when it comes to actual activity, which makes sense given that the general Pathfinder reddit has been around for for 8+ years.
For comparison, Call of Cthulhu's reddit:

More subscribers, but also a lot less activity. Again, part of being a game that has been around much longer and thus has had more time to create a community. You can see it more clearly on this plot here:

OK, so not much PF1E chatter, either. Still seems to correspond with the VTT and Amazon sales data.
No. It’s actually quite good data even if not complete.
It confirms that PF2 is solidly in the 2nd best selling RPG position by a long shot. It’s the 800lbs gorilla of RPGs that are not D&D.
The problem is that some take it as a confirmation of... all kinds of things. Some think those numbers are “not good”, fans and haters, which is “a” conclusion but also a guess?
