I'm subbing to anything that seems remotely interesting but I'll probably end up pruning the list eventually. The same thing happened when I joined reddit back in 2010. I was so excited to read about everything and then realized I didn't actually care that much about the individual topics.

I'm at 60 which already feels like too much

Wow. I'm subscribed to 13, and only one will be left of 5 of those once I figure out which is the best replacement for the defederated !Literature@beehaw.org.

~160 communities would be too much for me. If something isn't my active interest, I prefer putting it into my locally hosted MediaWiki.

I’m subscribed to 50 total communities / magazines across Lemmy and kbin and honestly, almost every time I hit refresh (while using subscribed and sort by new - I understand there are some front page bugs) I get new stuff to read or look at.

I haven’t felt like it’s dead here since I signed up and the engagement has just gotten better as people get more comfortable with whichever software they’re using (either Lemmy, kbin, or even Mastodon). It’s not an overwhelming amount of posts like trying to read Reddit by New.

And I look regularly for other communities I might be interested in.

Weirdly I'm subbed to 162, so almost exactly the same. Not sure of the kbin/lemmy breakdown.

Most of the communities are still really small or inactive but I'm subbed in the hope they develop in the next few weeks or so.

92 'subs' so far.

17 subscriptions. They have had 7 posts in the last 12 hours... definitely pretty empty compared to reddit.

166 and my feed looks nice and busy :)

One, it would be two but the second one has been pending for like 24 hours and I don't know what that means.

I mostly perfer to browse /all anyway and block what Im not into vs only seeing what I think Id like
