It's our first wedding anniversary today and we agreed no pranks so we could relax and enjoy it. Not that either of us are the pranking type anyway really, but better to agree it out loud 😄
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.
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.
Ooh what are you on with atm? I'm embroiled in a minimalist city builder thing and just got to the part where I need to learn to animate things, which I have been full-on dreading.
I could've written this comment word for word. It really does make things a lot easier to just be direct, being able to do this is one of the very few outright advantages of our non-standard brains imo!
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.
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.
That's awesome, congratulations to you too!
