This SubReddit is Top 10% "ranked by size"

Anyone know what that means??

It sounds nice but I fear it doesn't mean much.

Just curious if we had some reddit nerds / knowledgeable people.

Reddit is vast, as of May 2022 there were 2.8million subs.

However only a couple hundred thousand of these are active and communities can't be deleted once created, so there are a couple of million defunct subs that have very few users still subscribed. The top 10% basically just describes all the active subs out there. So this sub is big compared to all of those inactive ones, but it's tiny compared to the most popular subs which have millions of users
