a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

Mostly lurk unless the discussion is something I feel I can add real value to with my own experiences\expertise. Likely 1 comment per year, like this one. Plus I don't vote on posts or comments.

Wow I got your one comment per year 😀 What sorts of stuff are you interested in, and how well does the current Fediverse offerings line up with them? What would you like to see?

Variety is the spice of life. I could start on one wiki page and end up with 20 tabs open 2 hours later. Exposure to a vast knowledge base is part of what makes this type of platform great. Hopefully the influx of new users will help the smaller communities thrive here.

I enjoy playing devil's advocate, so sorting by controversial and seeing differing opinions is a breath of fresh air. It's nice to keep my mind open to new ideas. I'm not sure if that's possible on Lemmy but I haven't explored much yet. If not, it would be a cool feature to see.

I also use this as a form of mind numbing entertainment. As such, it would be nice to see videos. I know this will be tough given how instances are hosted, but hopefully we find a way to make it work.
