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.

I can only speak for how it shows up on Mastodon, but over there any hashtags we try and add here just show up as plain text and don’t show in the actual tag feed, so it does nothing for discoverability.

UK answer: city 100% no question.

Being able to actually get places and do things and have people to do those things with, I don’t even know how a small town could ever compare. Grew up in one, currently living in another one, both crap.

Gotta actually link things if you want people to find them, my friend! 😉

For the Mastodon users among us, obligatory plug https://streetpass.social

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!

If you’re the first person from your instance to subscribe to that community, you’ll only see new posts. If there is a particular post or comment you want to reply to, though, you can grab the URL and put it into your instance’s search box to sort of force it to federate across.

Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

Would you like to…share this tutorial with us? Haha :D

Nice! This is the sort of thing that, to be honest, is still very much over my head. Which just makes me appreciate it more in others 😅

Nice, will give it a look! A little site has been on the todo list for ages but you know how that goes…

Shoutout to !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world for saving us when Liftoff went under.

That’s true, cheers, I’ve even used it before in an emergency and then totally forgot 🤦‍♀️

Lol, excellent about page 😄

I really should get on and do this too. Any tips on cheap hosting options these days? I’m well out of the loop on web stuff atm.

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I’ve not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he’s already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won’t tell him that!

Might not be the kind of arts and crafts you’re talking about but I mod both !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, plus there’s !crochet@lemmy.ca , !sewing@lemmy.world and plenty more that would be happy to have you!

Yep you’d expect it to climb significantly once .world upgrades. Basically this update messes with the baseline stat a lot so no reason to celebrate, but also no reason to really be fussed either way as long as we’ve got plenty people here to talk to 👍

You’re a monster but honestly I respect it.

This might be the showerthought that’s given me the most to think about ever. Can’t stop thinking about licking my couch, for a start. Well played OP.
