Honestly a lot of it is probably people getting comfortable lurking again, Lemmy only counts post and comments as active users
It's funny how despite social media becoming very normal, the old phenomenon of most content getting generated by a small portion of power users persists.

I post
I'm just not clever enough to post
Have you seen the shitpost communities? Cleverness isn't required, and in fact I think in those communities it's somewhat frowned upon, 'cause c'mon, no polishing shit!
My biggest issue is I always forget my good shit posts by the time I have time to post. Getting old sucks
Sometimes I think of things in the shower and after I'm done I can't find the post I wanted to post in :/
Commenting so I‘m active :)
I don't know how long it counts it for, but I try to remember to comment something like once every two weeks or something
that‘s a good idea. I will copy your „way of lemmy“.
I take a break over the weekend. If I comment, I need to check the client every hour or so. I don't want replies/rebuttals to linger without a response if it is warranted. I need to work on my car projects and can't be bothered with online interactions whilst doing so.
That's probably the one thing I like about lemmy that surprised me when compared to reddit. I've found myself commenting on posts or to replying to comments days after the initial posts, and no one seems bothered by it.
Yes, TTL is longer here. Deffo more casual.
Me no lurk. Me comment.
I'm doing my part!
My comment to stop the lurk
Ok I am guilty of that. What about votes? Are they not counted as activity?
I’ll try to post atleast one comment every now and then.
Well, as they say: “I’m going my part”.
I try to make it a point to post questions on communities that have not kicked off yet, knowing that I most likely will not receive a response for a while.
Yeah, that's probably the case.
Well in that case, ping!
So glad I decided to stop lurking and actually start participating right as the whole fediverse dies out, it's not just lemmy.
I find it more comfortable to contribute to Lemmy than to other sites. There seems to be actual discussion and opportunities to learn, which can be much harder to come across on the other platforms.
And fewer comments that are clearly a chat bot.
Don't worry! They've just become less obvious.
Well count me in now
Really? Oh
Time to count me back in!
