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.

For the Mastodon users among us, obligatory plug https://streetpass.social

Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

I’m still using the v1 headset but have to admit this would probably tip me over into upgrading.

Might not be the kind of arts and crafts you’re talking about but I mod both !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, plus there’s !crochet@lemmy.ca , !sewing@lemmy.world 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 👍

Pretty sure most people just use their Mastodon app. I’ve heard decent things about Fedilab as well, haven’t tried that one myself but I hear it has PeerTube support.

The PT devs have just announced they’ll be working on a proper app in 2024 so 🤞

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.

Played through it with my husband, usually on an evening after work, and discovered that no matter how stressed or annoyed you are the Outer Wilds intro / menu is just instant relaxation. Like sliding into a whole other world where everything is going to be ok.

This seems pretty normal to me. I used to get a 6 month WoW sub for my birthday in summer and then again at Christmas and that was what, over 15 years ago. Also I was an adult, but still, hobby supplies are a great gift.

What kind of printer is it? The more-experienced-than-me folks will probably be able to point you in the direction of specific resources depending what type of printing you’ll be doing.

When we first got into printing I taught my husband the basics of CAD with Fusion360, and after a bit of wrangling with the unintuitive controls he found it pretty easy to use. It’s free for personal use, which is the main draw, but also it makes it easy to share designs with each other. That said I’m sure someone will be along to recommend a FOSS alternative because this is Lemmy after all.

Mainly I just wanted to say welcome to the gang and have fun printing a load of stuff you didn’t even know you needed! :D

Outer. Wilds.

😭

Oh these are really pretty!

Hello from Lemmy too :)

So many people make the same mistake, you are definitely not alone. VERY different games though.

Until Dawn and all the similar games that came since can be pretty good for this. They are set up with a mode where she could control characters if she wants, but otherwise just playing through the story with you controlling everything and her helping make the decisions is a fun time. Play these with my husband every year as part of our Halloween traditions, you can actually learn a lot about a person by seeing what decisions they go with😅

If it was just the constant violence in TLOU that was her issue these could work, although fair warning if she’d prefer absolutely no violence (or horror) at all then I’m gonna just be a second vote for Outer Wilds instead.

Outer Wilds, not to be confused with The Outer Worlds!

Great suggestion. Me and my partner “play” a lot of games together where one of us controls but both get to have input and make decisions, and this is a fantastic example.

Without the part where they pull up the drawbridge behind them, hopefully.

I happened to notice an ex-Pebble user in my feed asking for Mastodon help, a couple weeks back. Had never heard of it, but I did some digging, found there was a whole group of them wandering around lost and confused, so reached out and welcomed them and offered help. Honestly they’re very nice people, it seems like Pebble’s whole “thing” was a focus on people being cool to each other so attracted that certain sort of user.

Proud to say I was nominated first post-Pebble member of Pebble club 😎

Definitely have a couple of friends who need to use this feature
