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 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?

      I don’t know if you’ve heard of Kbin in general but it’s just another Fediverse platform like Lemmy, and has its own community equivalent called magazines. Users from Lemmy can sub to magazines, and users from Kbin can sub to our communities, so essentially it’s all just one big forum with two different ways of viewing content. Some people prefer the Kbin UI, others prefer the Lemmy one.

      For most of my interests I’ve found Lemmy is the more active one, but it just depends on topic. Check out their list of magazines here: https://kbin.social/magazines

      To subscribe, you’ll need to go through the palaver of searching for the magazine on your home instance same as you do with communities. The difference is instead of !this@syntax, just search for the full URL of the Kbin mag.
