How many communities are you subbed to?

I’ve been on Lemmy for 12 days apparently, feels like a lifetime! And I keep seeing posts about how it’s too empty or there’s no content outside of the Reddit drama or whatever.

So it got me thinking, am I just subbed to way more stuff than most? Because I go into the “all” tab maybe once a day, and keep busy in “subscribed” the rest of the time.

Here’s my stats:

  • 121 Lemmy communities
  • 42 Kbin magazines
  • 163 total

That’s for this account, although I also have a second account for slightly different topics so there’s probably another 20-30 or so unique subs on there.

How about you?

92 ‘subs’ so far.

arisoda,

Sub as a noun is fine. Sub can just mean subscription (to a community) or “at a lower level” so lower than an instance, thus community.

your post inspired me to go looking, so I browsed around 50 pages worth of mags and am now subbed to about 82

I accidentally added one just after writing this post, but you’re still beating me by two.

Ding ding ding we have a new winner! 🏆

Gatsby,

One, it would be two but the second one has been pending for like 24 hours and I don’t know what that means.

I mostly perfer to browse /all anyway and block what Im not into vs only seeing what I think Id like

Fair enough! For reference though I think the “pending” bug is just a visual thing and you’re actually subscribed anyway. I have a few of those (mostly from .ml) but they show up in the subscribed feed just fine.

Gatsby,

Hey you’re right!!

Thanks for the tip, I am actually subscribed! I thought It was because of my very very limited internet lol

Happy to help! See, all this subscribing I’ve been doing has led to some useful things learned and therefore hasn’t been a total waste of the last 12 days of my life 👀

Weirdly I'm subbed to 162, so almost exactly the same. Not sure of the kbin/lemmy breakdown.

Most of the communities are still really small or inactive but I'm subbed in the hope they develop in the next few weeks or so.

I’m subscribed to 50 total communities / magazines across Lemmy and kbin and honestly, almost every time I hit refresh (while using subscribed and sort by new - I understand there are some front page bugs) I get new stuff to read or look at.

I haven’t felt like it’s dead here since I signed up and the engagement has just gotten better as people get more comfortable with whichever software they’re using (either Lemmy, kbin, or even Mastodon). It’s not an overwhelming amount of posts like trying to read Reddit by New.

And I look regularly for other communities I might be interested in.

Audalin,

Wow. I’m subscribed to 13, and only one will be left of 5 of those once I figure out which is the best replacement for the defederated !Literature.

~160 communities would be too much for me. If something isn’t my active interest, I prefer putting it into my locally hosted MediaWiki.

Too many interests most of which are quite small and niche is definitely a major problem in more than one area of my life lol, Lemmy is just the latest 😅

WalrusDragonOnABike,

17 subscriptions. They have had 7 posts in the last 12 hours... definitely pretty empty compared to reddit.

Gotta get those numbers up my friend :D

WalrusDragonOnABike,

People need to make active communities I'm interested in, cause I'm not making them. Only a couple subs I'm missing from reddit though, more just want more activity in the existing ones. And I don't care to start threads...
