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?

Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Previously on Reddit, I would read posts for the comments but without good posts you won't generate good comments. Even on Lemmy, when I see a post with lots of comments - it's more attractive than a post with two comments. Though now on Lemmy, I feel more encouraged to leave a comment here or there.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

The rule is always true

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's the way you learn a language. Don't worry, there are no grammar nazis around here.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Mainly a lurker. Hoping the regional sports game-day threads take off here cause that was the majority of my posting.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

alrighty then user Potato_in_my_anus, thank you for your infinite wisdom. i hope you're having a good day

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.

I'm finally part of the 1%!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I don't think I'll ever create content, but I'm happy to try and comment on the stuff you guys create. Thats probably the most I'm capable of.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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?
