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?
I’m also not a fan of the big communities, joined a couple of them when I first got here and quickly unsubbed since they get spammy and you can usually see their stuff in All anyway. For the smaller, not populated enough ones, I’ve just been making a conscious effort to help seed some content and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! 🤷♀️ Bear in mind as well some of those tiny communities might have duplicates so you could keep an eye on all of them without actually adding new topics to your feed.
Yeah, I’ve had to take the plunge and start one of my own! I’ve never modded like this before… which won’t be a problem if people don’t show up and contribute. Learning how to do more than lurk sure takes up spoons, but it will be worth it if I can succeed in making (and finding) some nice places to hang out in which aren’t too overwhelming, but still have enough going on. :)
