How many communities are you subbed to? (self.general)

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?

Fifty-ish range I think? No more than several dozen.

What I found helped more than anything else was to switch to kbin. The sorting algorithm just seems to work WAY better over there. Lemmy was not scratching my reddit itch, but kbin is.

Yes, I am aware of the Lemmy bug with Hot sort. That's already fixed on lemm.ee. Still didn't work as well as kbin.

No competitiveness with Kbin here lol, I just picked the one that has the UI I prefer. Now that your federation issue is sorted it makes no odds at all! Glad there's the two different options so people can just pick whatever works :D
