On one instance I have subbed to 136 communities. This was my first instance I joined and just looking for any communities that looked interesting.
I originally tried to duplicate that in the new instances I signed up on, but eventually gave up finding it to be too tedious.
At some point, on my main instance/account I started weeding out communities that were not as exciting or active as I was hoping for.
On some newer instances, I keep to a handful of subject matters based on the instance's primary community subjects (ex: startrek.website)
I have only played around with kbin a few times and have had a more difficult time initially setting it up and subscribing to magazines, but that's where I came across this thread.
I am eager to see app development for lemmy and kbin since I enjoy browsing casually from my phone. Half the time I am on Jerboa, the other half on the PWA for lemmy. Just started using the kbin PWA.
I like having multiple instances to view different content that may not be available due to defederation (beehaw) and I sometimes find new communities on one instance that don't populate from another (possible bug?)
As for my main interests, I am subbed to all instance versions of that community (news, gaming, etc) since they all have good but separate threads and interactions.
My hope is, that once a third-party app that is able to combine and standardize my viewing and search preferences, I will switch to that and only keep maybe 2 or 3 accounts to seperate professional vs personal interests, vs straight up casual and unorganized viewing.
Gotta say, we are massive outliers so far!
Hypothesis: Futurama fans subscribe to more communities, possibly due to an unshakeable sense of loneliness and despair brought on by Jurassic Bark? 🤔
I'm curious why you have multiple instance accounts that you switch between? You can view all of the fediverse from one account if you pick an instance that is federated with every community you want to see.
