Personally subscribed to 126, and it’s steadily growing by 2-4 each week. But curious to how many you are subscribed to too. Feel free to share your favorite community too!

You can use Photon webUI (if your instance supports it) to easily check this; https://photon.<your instance>.tld.

      Same, except I just look at all local communities. All communities lemmy wide ends up having too many duplicates.

    None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it

      Pretty much the only stuff I unsubscribe to is tech or politics subs

      Same, same.

        Here is my unscientific assessment, presented with maximal pissing everyone off energy:

        I guess maybe it’s offensive that I’m calling so many people idiots. I’m not tryin to be offensive or insult any particular reader or poster or any person in particular; I’m just talking about the general vibe of the sub. Especially on the tech subs, there’s just this really notable feature that the level of how much people understand things is really unusually low, and the level of how confident they are in their opinions and passing judgement on everything and arguing about it is really unusual and shockingly high.

        So like as an example take this post. Dude is coming in like “hey what do you think of this,” posts a perfectly reasonable and actually really insightful and in-depth-knowledgeable article, and a whole bunch of people who the point of the article went totally over their heads come in to tell him “BRO HE DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, C IS LOW LEVEL, HOW CAN YOU SAY IT’S NOT.” It was absolutely unanimous. I really tried to come up with a different word for what that is, that wouldn’t be offensive, but I couldn’t manage it. It’s just… I don’t know. It’s a toxic and unproductive environment that makes me not want to be involved.

          I have so many of these blocked lol.

          I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.

          And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

    mander.xyz account: 100~150. Sometimes I browse “all” and “local” but it’s specifically to look for new comms to subscribe to.

    ani.social account: 15~20. I typically browse there by “local”.

    I’m following a few dozen, but as others have said, there’s little enough content that I just sort by Scaled and browse Everything. The Voyager app has an option to block all NSFW content (I wish it had the opposite for my alt account though! 😅) and I block non-nsfw communities that I don’t care about (like a lot of the sports team ones).

    895, I don’t think all of them are active or even still going (were replaced by bigger instances).

    I dont have photon because I didnt know it exists and I would have to make a separate subdomain for it if I understand correctly.

    Can you point me to what photon exactly is?

    Including this one, my instance community and my app community, 30. A few are very quiet and some are different instance versions eg, cats world and cats ml

    I sort by subscribed and try to interact as much as possible which keeps me busy enough that I no longer use Reddit. So it’s all good.

    Almost 60 something, I mostly browse by subscribed or local and still get content.

    0 cause I feel there’s not enough content to have subscriptions so I just scroll by top/active.

    I remember posting this question just after the Reddit exodus so went back to look at my stats from back then. According to the post I’d been on Lemmy for 12 days and had subscribed to:

    • 121 Lemmy communities
    • 42 Kbin magazines
    • 163 total

    That was just on this account though, and I have two accounts with fairly different feeds. So let’s say I was probably on a total of around 180-200 then across both accounts, and have been adding them at a slow but steady rate

    That gives us a scientifically sound estimate of my current total subscriptions: a lot.

    Personally I don’t even subscribe to any. I just browse all and then filter out any community that pops up which I don’t think I’ll ever be interested in.

    I started to subscribe to a few but when browsing subscribed only I felt like I was potentially missing so much, because maybe I subscribed to the wrong “aww” instance but I also didn’t want to go through and find the 3-4 different versions to subscribe to.

    This way I see everything, except the stuff that I definitely don’t want to see (like most of the porn instances, non-english instances, etc.)
