Only on this account. Combine my other accounts and its over 2k. Excluding comments ofc, just this account has around 2500 comments.

I also have like the 2nd or third upvoted post on this sub a week ago. Thats about being in war time Pakistan. All good now, no more active attacks.

I’ve also started 8 communities here. Unfortunately I haven’t been active for a few months but you might still have heard of aneurysm posting or short stories.

I love writing, reading, chess, football, cricket, movies, history, mythology, food, art and culture. Especially love thorough analysis of anything really.

Tried joining Lemmy in 2022 but couldn’t due to whatever instance that was being annoying. Tried again in 2023 and been here since.

Love a lot of instances here. Sopuli, literature cafe and dbzer0 my favourite. Although i think with dbzer0 its more loyalty now 😭.

    I’m curious what instance was being annoying, especially because that’s usually Hexbear, where you posted this. So if we weren’t the annoying ones I’m ultra curious

        Its so long ago that I don’t remember. I remember being very confused already. Finally finding an instance and then not getting back a confirmation email.

        I was used to instant signups for accounts. Here nothing happened for a couple of days and I just gave up.

        Might have been beehaw or hexbear, I don’t remember.

          Finally finding an instance and then not getting back a confirmation email.

          As someone who runs a dedicated email server for a Mastodon instance, this is a major pain in the ass. Some email services will shitcan any messages coming from your server just because it is hosted on an IP address in the same block as some spammer from years ago, regardless of how many authentication protocols you configure (basically any public cloud hosting service will suffer this problem). I think most admins would actually appreciate if you reach out to them about things like this. I’ve activated a couple accounts manually when their email provider would not allow them to accept-list my mail server.

            Now that I’m on Lemmy and understand it its fine.

            But as a newbie it was a massive barrier to entry. I don’t wanna put in effort to signup.

            And this isn’t about me but about newcomers in general. Theres a lot of confusion about choosing instances and understanding the terminology etc. Adding so many barriers to entry makes it tough.

            Firstly I wish instances were called servers. Once I thought of instances as servers was when I understood the concept.

            I say all this as someone mostly tech illiterate. I’m really bad at this stuff like the general population beyond the average Lemmy user.

    I’ve always wondered - how much time do you few superposters spend on this platform? Do you spend time with any other social media?

      When I was regularly posting this was it. I quit all social media in 2019. Went back to reddit in 2022 and deleted it the same year.

      Came to Lemmy in 2023. This was the only place I posted ever. I never used to post on other platforms when I was on them.

      I rejoined social media recently die to war and info was being shared there (and insta fornmt sister, genuinely improved our relationship)

      Now I’m probably gonna delete all accounts in a dew months. Just wanna stay while the summer transfer window goes on (football thing)

      When I post a lot I can spend two hours a day. Just replying to people takes the most time.

        If I might ask, why delete your accounts instead of simply not posting anymore? Wouldn’t deleting remove all of your posts and comments (which would probably be noticeable to a lot of people who would have “detached” comments in their histories - probably a sizable percentage for a platform the size of lemmy’s)
