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.

Lol I didn’t even see that, fair enough 😄

Came prepared to downvote this for being common sense, but judging by the comments it actually is surprisingly unpopular! Well played.

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.

Actually will, cheers for the recommendation!

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.

Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!

Also wtf South Africa.

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.

[email protected] is for exactly this!

Interesting! Tbf there is very little going on in our small town, a cult might spice things up a bit.

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 ⛏

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

This kind of nonsense is the reason I’ve not been to a hairdresser since I was 16. Which is both a) a very long time ago and b) readily apparent just by looking at me.

Unless “abroad” is in one or both of those directions 🤔

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 😅

My husband has recently got into developing for Pico-8, which has a pretty tricksy maximum size limit to work with.

Afaik this isn’t for any real hardware-related reason, but clearly people enjoy the challenge and the creativity that naturally flows from limitation.

Naturally there are a ton of terrible games that get shovelled out for it (same as with anything) but some people can make it do pretty wild stuff!
