How many communities are you subbed to? (lemmy.world)

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?

People need to make active communities I'm interested in, cause I'm not making them. Only a couple subs I'm missing from reddit though, more just want more activity in the existing ones. And I don't care to start threads...

You gotta post and engage dude, active communities don't just spring up out of thin air.

There might be fewer posts total but I've gotten tons more individual engagement on the verse than I ever did on reddit. The people here seem to actually want to talk about things. A lot of the reddit communities are so big that I never bothered posting in them at all because it was just lost to the noise.
