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.

    Less than 20. I just browse by all so the only reason I’m even subscribed to what I am subscribed to is to get to it faster or to actually have it show up on my instance, since at least 1 person on the instance has to subscribe to a community before it shows up in all for that instance and this is a smol instance.

    0 cause I feel there’s not enough content to have subscriptions so I just scroll by top/active.

      Interesting take. What would „enough“ be?

    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.

      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

      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

      Not tried Alexandrite in a while, personally wasn’t a fan of the layout and the colour palette.

        Here is my unscientific assessment, presented with maximal pissing everyone off energy:

        I guess maybe it’s offensive that I’m calling so many people idiots. I’m not tryin to be offensive or insult any particular reader or poster or any person in particular; I’m just talking about the general vibe of the sub. Especially on the tech subs, there’s just this really notable feature that the level of how much people understand things is really unusually low, and the level of how confident they are in their opinions and passing judgement on everything and arguing about it is really unusual and shockingly high.

        So like as an example take this post. Dude is coming in like “hey what do you think of this,” posts a perfectly reasonable and actually really insightful and in-depth-knowledgeable article, and a whole bunch of people who the point of the article went totally over their heads come in to tell him “BRO HE DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, C IS LOW LEVEL, HOW CAN YOU SAY IT’S NOT.” It was absolutely unanimous. I really tried to come up with a different word for what that is, that wouldn’t be offensive, but I couldn’t manage it. It’s just… I don’t know. It’s a toxic and unproductive environment that makes me not want to be involved.

          I have so many of these blocked lol.

          I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.

          And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

    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”.

    None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it

    Not a ton because my app crashes every time I use the search function. I get what the lord gives me
