I'm primarily a lurker. Back on Reddit I'd create posts here and there, but I'd mostly contribute to discussion fairly often. I only had around like 28k karma from comments over the course of 11 years, so I wasn't super prolific by any means.

I miss how big the community was on Reddit at times. I'm still trying to figure Lemmy out. Trying to figure out how to make the instances work on the app can be frustrating, but I really hope to see Lemmy grow into a proper competitor and become more polished and robust. I like it so far, it shows promise.

I’ve been a long time lurker on other social media platforms, but I’ve started to try and contribute more since I’d like to see communities I like succeed. Maybe then I can go back to lurking

I'm a lurker naturally but I'm invested in growing the community here so I'm trying to post and comment like crazy

According to the-federation.info, lemmy.world has 92k users, 25k of which were active in the past month. So, yeah, it doesn't hold true at the moment.

I'm definitely more of a lurker, but I'm trying to be active in commenting at least. As for posting, I just don't have much to post about tbh.

I just comment. I'm not a creator. I also don't appreciate people reposting stale content. It was so obnoxious on Reddit. So I don't want to be one of those posters either.

I used to be a 99% lurker back during reddit era but I do comment on lemmy if that counts.

I feel much more motivated to comment compared to post.

I'm still trying to figure out where I can post things

I think the 1% rule is true of large communities, but less so with small ones. It takes effort to find and join Lemmy, Mastodon and others, and use them, so only the most enthusiastic join at first. As it grows, the 1% rule will be even more apparent.

I alternate. Sometimes a lurker, sometimes a creator and most of the time a participator. But I do find myself creating more posts while on the fediverse.

Hi, my name is jim, and I’m a lurker…

Not yet and as the early adopters we should contribute as much as we can while at the same time being careful not to post low quality or repetitive things.

The platform will naturally mature if it is fit to do so.

Yeah I got nothing interesting to contribute and very early do. I don't shut up with comments though and uplemmy frequently, so I can at least encourage others!

I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I'd say that I'm personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.

I'm a participator. I leave a comment every now and than. Maybe a post once a month or so.

I've been very post-y and very commentish since I got here. I did most of the posting in the sub I modded on reddit, and it's the same over here. I guess it would be fair to say I've been equally engaged on both platforms. (I'm only posting here now, tho.)

Honestly, I wish the lemmy apps were more geared to allow people to lurk rather than having everyone sign up to view content. I'm a lurker who shares posts with people outside of lemmy.

Nine-nine !

I am the cat in this image.

Can you find the cat? Maybe circle the cat and re-up to a comment to help your Lemmie friends.

This sub stands out on Reddit for me, but I have no idea where it's content comes from. I actually found it via a Digg RSS link...

So I remain largely a lurker.

I participate where I feel I'll be of value in some way, lurk when something is interesting but I have nothing to add to the conversation and very rarely create

Do comments count? You're welcome.

I never post, but I do comment.
