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?

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

Sorry not sorry!

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.

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

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...

166 and my feed looks nice and busy :)

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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! πŸ†

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

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey you're right!!

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

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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 πŸ‘€
