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?

Not as many as I should be. Clicking links to mags/comms often opens them in a new window that I'm not logged into, then the login screen freezes.

Yeah it can be annoying following a remote link by accident and having to do the whole copy/paste rigmarole to subscribe.

I have a bookmarklet installed in my browser that I can hit to be redirected to the current community but from within my home instance. Can't remember who originally made it or I'd give them a shoutout. But anyway copy this to your bookmarks bar and it should help streamline things a lot.

javascript:(function() {const myInst="feddit.uk";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})()

You'll still get some 404s of course from communities that haven't been indexed on feddit.uk yet, so you'll need to fall back on the copy/paste method there. But still, that gets less common every day :)
