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.

I’m still using the v1 headset but have to admit this would probably tip me over into upgrading.

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

You left them in peace, right?

…right? 🥺

Nah the dev took some time off (had babies, I believe!) but is back now.

Admittedly I only got into them because of Eurovision, but man I have been listening to so much Lord of the Lost. Somehow hadn’t thought to look at any of their videos though! This was…eye opening 😆

Multiple cinema tickets for the same film? What am I, made of money?

Whining and whinging are definitely not the same thing, but I’m struggling to articulate why. Just something British (and I guess Australian, judging by this thread) folks grow up with and intuitively understand.

It’s the most technologically lacking sporting event with the most clueless commentators who don’t even know the rules. But it’s wholesome af regardless.

Well I’ve spent the last three days thoroughly entranced by the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship, which it turns out is a thing. So idk, maybe that?

It takes a bit of practise to get over the awkwardness. But it’s totally worth it.

Yeah pretty much

We actually tried this! Tried to get her to say “Good luck with your lamps” as the reply because we’re British and terminally sarcastic like that, but ofc she doesn’t really do tone so it was underwhelming.

We turned it off and went back to the old fashioned way 😂
