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.

Might not be the kind of arts and crafts you’re talking about but I mod both [email protected] and [email protected], plus there’s [email protected] , [email protected] and plenty more that would be happy to have you!

Yep you’d expect it to climb significantly once .world upgrades. Basically this update messes with the baseline stat a lot so no reason to celebrate, but also no reason to really be fussed either way as long as we’ve got plenty people here to talk to 👍

Figure out what sort of thing you’d like to see, check out the related hashtag feeds. You can follow tags as a good way to get started and follow individual people as and when they pop up with something cool.

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?

feddit.uk is all primarily UK stuff, I think there are Australia and NZ instances too.

Personally as a British person I hope to avoid as much UK news on here as possible so it’s nice of them to keep it mostly to one instance (big exception for UK content is UKCasual on .world, it’s nice having that hosted away from all the politics etc on .uk)

I believe there’s a more recent instance positioning itself as gaming themed but the name is escaping me, might be searchable on lemmyverse. Update: it was lemmy.zip

My other account is mostly concerned with crafts, so a craft focused instance would’ve been nice. But it’s sort of already too late as small communities for various niche hobbies are becoming established and trying to disrupt that just for the sake of tidiness seems silly.

Once we have some kind of community grouping feature I think this will be even more of a non-issue than it already is.

Nice one, cheers

For what it’s worth, OP, I’m with you. Starfield was a massive disappointment, it could’ve been so cool and then the first proper info we got about it was “look you get to shoot stuff”. Like, have some imagination!

In this utopian vision, I hope only that we leave Schefter behind.

Maybe pick an existing one and help it get off the ground:

• [email protected] (direct link) this one seems like it’s newly set up by a community squatter, but you might have luck approaching them
• [email protected] (direct link) - this one is older but was inactive for a long time before the recent migration so idk if the mod is active

TIL! Makes sense now you mention it though!

Rock and stone!

I choose not to play these games.

So many people mentioning Outer Wilds, think I will have to revisit that.

Do it do it do it! Trust Lemmy 😄

Rock and stone to the bone!

Unrelated and this is very unlikely but is your name a reference to Deep Rock Galactic by any chance?

Given that you asked for guns specifically I’ll go out on a limb and say we are very different gamers!

But Subnautica would be my suggestion. Crazy good sound design.

I can barely make it 30 seconds into that one without tearing up and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

That’s going to be my only option, my laptop can barely run the first one as it is!

Oh thank god, I came here to say Skyrim and was afraid of being the only one.

I should have liked it. Absolutely loved Morrowind. But just never could get into Skyrim despite multiple attempts and now I’ve given up.
