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.

Lol I didn’t even see that, fair enough 😄

Came prepared to downvote this for being common sense, but judging by the comments it actually is surprisingly unpopular! Well played.

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.

UK answer: city 100% no question.

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.

Gotta actually link things if you want people to find them, my friend! 😉

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!

Shoutout to !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world for saving us when Liftoff went under.

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I’ve not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he’s already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won’t tell him that!

You’re a monster but honestly I respect it.

This might be the showerthought that’s given me the most to think about ever. Can’t stop thinking about licking my couch, for a start. Well played OP.

All kinds of things really although mostly they’re on my list to learn so I’ll have them one day. Tatting might be my main one for 2024.

(Edit: Forgot the “why”. Mostly because it’s come up twice lately here on Lemmy and I feel left out while other people are making pretty lace)

I do wish I could learn to draw a bit better, to play the piano, and to speak multiple languages. But realistically I don’t have that kind of time so have to go with things that are quicker to pick up!

I have a really out of the loop question that will probably make me sound like a troll, but really I’m just old and out of the loop:

What exactly are the unique features of Tumblr? as far as I recall it was just a blogging site with support for specific post formats, right? Did it get more complicated than that?

Jes!

(That’s Esperanto for “yes”. It’s pronounced “yes” 😄)

Saluton, mia amiko 👋

‘Bough’ and ‘bow’ are pronounced the same

Except, of course, when “bow” is pronounced “bow” instead.

Most recent post there was 2 hours ago. You might have it blocked or something.

To add to Otter’s reply, one of the best ways to keep growing after the initial announcement is simply just to make sure you mention and properly link it whenever it’s relevant to the conversation.

a) Lets people know the community exists and b) gives them a way to go straight there without having to faff about.
