Never been called out like this. Oh well. I think I'm still a lurker unless I'm called out.

I'm a lurker naturally but I'm invested in growing the community here so I'm trying to post and comment like crazy
I never post, but I do comment.
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 feel much more motivated to comment compared to post.
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 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'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 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.
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!
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.
Nine-nine !
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.
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
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.
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.
Which apps are you using? I use Liftoff and have four instances added that I regularly browse, but I'm only logged in to two (because I only have accounts on those two). I haven't had problems browsing or sharing content on the instances I'm not logged into on this app and the links open in browsers just fine without a login wall for people I share with.
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.)
I'm trying to comment more but posting... lol I probably don't have that much to contribute.
I'm a participator. I leave a comment every now and than. Maybe a post once a month or so.
