I think the 1% rule is true of large communities, but less so with small ones. It takes effort to find and join Lemmy, Mastodon and others, and use them, so only the most enthusiastic join at first. As it grows, the 1% rule will be even more apparent.

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

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.

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

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.

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

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

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

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

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

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

I posted carrots

Lurker.

The rule is always true

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 hardly ever posted on Reddit but I would comment about as much as here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm posting a bit more.on the kbin.social NYC magazine (aka community). If you like or are interested in NYC, please visit and poat/comment!

I'd say partway between participator and lurker. Sometimes I just don't really have a lot to say.

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'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?

And only 1% of the 1% contribute meaningful content.
