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?

As most reddit refugees I didn't know how the fediverse worked and I jumped over here a week or so preemptively before a lot of the information on how the fediverse worked was widely established. I was frustrated because initially I couldn't add communities I was searching for and until people migrated over and made the community connections, the easiest way for me to see all the different communities out there was instance hopping. Now I know better and only really use one or two accounts because I am still having trouble viewing/posting things from certain ones. I chose to make a kbin account to see the variety in formatting and the different magazines available which are separate from Lemmy communities. Even yesterday, playing on kbin, I couldn't view all the communities that I know are out there in the Lemmy part of the fediverse. I do, however enjoy the kbin UI. Lastly, if one server instance goes down permanently, by having a second account on a different instance, I won't be completely lost or cut-off.
