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?
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.
