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.
Plus lemmy only counts users who have posted or commented as an active user. So making at least one comment is helpful to gain traction.
Yeah, they’re actually the backbone of the community. We’re not the power that keeps the trolls at bay, they are.
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.
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
Same here, every post feels like I’m making a small contribution to a platform which I really want to succeed.
Exactly this.
Nah, but I’m definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
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?
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
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
Well yeah I’m currently posting all oc things i made and posted on Reddit to contribute to Lenny so that people are encouraged to join
And i also got a few gigabytes of content I could repost, too.
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
