1928

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?

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.

It would be nice if the apps let you see a list of instances to select from. I use liftoff and adding an instance seems like it's intentionally difficult.

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 dont want to lurk but english is not my native langage so my sentences looks weird when i dont use a translator

Yeah I suck. And the content that I used to provide on Reddit that I thought was valuable to share was just nitpicked into oblivion. It really was a toxic place.

I used to post a lot of comments on Reddit, but never anywhere else.

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

[-] Striker7@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'd say I do a fair amount of lurking. I participated a lot more on Reddit, but I'm just trying to get a feel for the scene.

[-] FinalFallacy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I mean think of Hollywood or sports. Most people don't do those things but they do consume it.

[-] StabsMcknzie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mostly Lurking as I try and learn the new space, as I get more comfortable I plan on engaging more with the community

[-] Pog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I try to contribute by honestly I just have nothing to say most of the time lol

The rule is always true

[-] Navarian@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm like 70/30 lurker to contributor I think, same deal as before I jumped ship.

I'm definitely making more of a concerted effort to interact at the minute, though, to help with numbers and so on.

[-] fartslinger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.

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.)

[-] Luxsidus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Since leaving Reddit definitely more participation. Even started some communities; a thing I never really cared for doing, but seems more appropriate and rewarding here!

[-] Myro@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Commenting a lot more here like I used to in forum days. Most of the threads I read I post in.

I tried to make a post yesterday but it stalled out.

The reason I comment more now is because I want to participate and I'm taking 'the internet' less seriously. This isn't real life.

Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.

[-] CosmicDetour@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

[-] CoupleOfConcerns@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Finally, I'm a one percenter.

[-] Talaraine@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've never created a subreddit but created a magazine here! Scoping for content to help build our new home. I just figure that if you ditched reddit you're kinda obligated to pitch in on the new space, idk.

Even if you don't create a magazine, just share something interesting once in a while?

[-] ThrillBlaze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.

[-] EmperorHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What's the percent that comments?

[-] odbod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know, but I definitely am part of that percentile :)

For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.
