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?

Huh, I don‘t think I subscribed to anything.

I‘m mostly browsing Hot in kbin and it‘s provided me a seemingly endless stream of content which I just commented and voted on the whole day.

Just now I discovered the part where I could even subscribe wayyy at the bottom of the page where I had not ventured before on mobile.

15 magazines.

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

About ten I think, I'm taking my time, making sure I really want to sub, trying not to clutter up my feed too much.

Your restraint is admirable!

I'm on 13 communities in this instance and a few more in Beehaw. I purged my Reddit account over a week ago and didn't keep track of all the subs. But I realized how much clutter I had. So, I'm going to be more selective now.

Also, I've heard kbin a few times. Should I be making an account over there?

What are kbin magazines. Different than communities? Where

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I could have this wrong, but I think kbin magazines are the same thing as lemmy communities.

The question that I have is what's the lemmy equivalent of kbin microblogs?

[–] ElectroVagrant 2 points 2 years ago

So far as I'm aware, Lemmy doesn't have an equivalent to Kbin's microblogs, making it one of Kbin's distinctive features which I've seen some praising as it improves (or may improve?) federation with microblogging stuff like Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.

I haven't really seen that in action yet personally, but on the surface it makes sense at least.

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.
