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

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.
Lurker.
Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.
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
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
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.
Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.
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!
I used to be a lurker. People can change.
I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.
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.
I try to contribute by honestly I just have nothing to say most of the time lol
The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.
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.
For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.
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%!
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.
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?
