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 a lurker, but I'm going to try to participation more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. Lurker here. In the sense that I upvote but don’t post or create content. I am just not witty enough to make a joke or creative enough to write a long winded content. But I do what I do and I think it’s alright.

God, the rare few times i put any time and effort into making something it would just get shit on. Lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I felt the same on reddit. So far lemmy seems more positive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people's opinions and content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I admit it: I'm a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean...creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm primarily a lurker. I've been trying to be better about participating lately because I'd like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have been posting and commenting a LOT more than I ever did on Reddit. Some small part of that is a desire to grow the platform and my communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Me too, keep it up 🤘

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Time to contribute to a platform that I can believe in.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll start actually posting things when my favorite communities jump ship from Reddit. Until then I'll just lurk while occasionally commenting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are some of your favorite communities?

On Reddit I just made a few comments and posts, mostly a lurker.
Here it's completely different, I have my own magazine, where I put the effort of making a post daily, and it actually feels better than lurking.
