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.
Happy Easter! 🐣🌻

I started just looking at Everything, and blocking the groups I’m not interested in.
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
112 but at least half are silent/gone. What are your favs?
Yeah, it’s interesting what lives and what doesn’t. Star Trek stuff…? Still big on the website. LOTR stuff? Basically a dead corpse.
I really wonder how long Lemmy will really last. It really feels like a website sustained by like 5 dudes mostly reposting content, with any actual discussion becoming increasingly circlejerk-y as time goes on.
Any problem in reposting content?
No, but it’s not really indicative of a healthy, long lasting website if essentially all of its posts are just coming from other websites. Why would anyone come here if they could just go on twitter or Reddit or wherever else and see the content directly?
Because the whole point is to leave the platforms from BigTech behind?
Yeah I’m not sure how much of an ethical stand that is if all the content is still imported from “big tech”.
It’s like starting a farming commune but then still buying everything from Walmart
I’m losing track of how many times I will have to repeat the term at first, but seems like people miss it.
You haven’t said ‘at first’ at any point in talking to me.
Thanks for asking, some of my favs are:
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).
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.
Not a ton because my app crashes every time I use the search function. I get what the lord gives me
What app are you using?
Memmy
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.
0 cause I feel there’s not enough content to have subscriptions so I just scroll by top/active.
a whole page when viewing the subscribed communities
141
Is there an easier way to count?
I have 13 pages so at 50 per page that makes 600-650, the majority of those are dead though.
would be nice if the communities page could show the date of the most recent post or something
but I guess anything with 0 users per month is obviously dead, unless it’s like an infrequently used announcements community
I use the Photon web UI, so its listed at the top of the community nav bar. Photon is really quite neat :)
If your instance supports it, then you can browse to: https://photon.INSTANCE.tld
Doesn’t look like it’s installed on mander, shame.
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.)
