On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
Still a lurker tbh, aside from this comment
We need you, too. As long as you’re upvoting and downvoting, you’re helping curate content.
lol semi-lurking here as well. good comment tho
Yeah, but I’m still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody’s gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that’s our job.
Normally I’m more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I’ve seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.
Same here, every post feels like I’m making a small contribution to a platform which I really want to succeed.
Exactly this.
I am but I’m very quickly finding out I have nothing to contribute.
I’m the most boring human alive.
I’m trying. so. hard. to. Help!
You should share the thing that you’re most terrified to share with others and i bet its not boring… for e.g… maybe you like to eat boogers… i am sure lots of people will be like… holy hell man… and they will be repulsed … but it won’t be boring. Then you could start a niche community of booger eaters and this community could share stories and recipes… and that sir or miss… is how you contribute instead of lurking.
Anyone want to creat a community about shameless farting in public or at the workplace? Or is this just me?
ahh, an avid member of /c/cropdusters i see
Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.
definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
Nah, but I’m definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
I absolutely did, at least for commenting. Partly because I want to create traffic for Lemmy, and partly because it feels just… Nicer here. More genuine interaction, less quippy one liners or insults.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
Well I’m just new here. I posted a lot on Reddit. But I have to say, I’m running across some new forums (or whatever they’re called here) at least one or two a day with hugely interesting discussion. Subscribe subscribe subscribe…I thought my Reddit interest list was pretty solid.
I had a Reddit account ~10y ago. I was only a lurker in the days before the exodus. This feels like a real community.
Frist psot! /s
Lemmy is full. Pls leave
Honestly, I even set up my own instance, feels much more relevant.

It’s a bit ironic that I’ve seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you’re the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don’t know how Lemmy works.Default sort for posts is “active”.
So older threads show up on the front page, and because that’s what people see first, it’s what they comment on.
Which keeps the post on “active” for longer.
You may want to sort by “new” or “top hour”/“top 6 hours” to see newer posts.
More people doing that and engaging with newer posts means they’ll show up on the default “active” sort.
Me and my people are powered by spite. I am going to try and be more active to help everything along so that reddit may die.
I, too, am fueled by anger and spite
It’s my favorite style of architecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite_fence
Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.
