MODERATORS
 

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?

Hi, my name is jim, and I’m a lurker…

Hi Jim, welcome to the contributor side

[–] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I alternate. Sometimes a lurker, sometimes a creator and most of the time a participator. But I do find myself creating more posts while on the fediverse.

I'm definitely more of a lurker, but I'm trying to be active in commenting at least. As for posting, I just don't have much to post about tbh.

Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong

I feel much more motivated to comment compared to post.

[–] chrizbie@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm still trying to figure out where I can post things

I'm a participator. I leave a comment every now and than. Maybe a post once a month or so.

I am the cat in this image.

Can you find the cat? Maybe circle the cat and re-up to a comment to help your Lemmie friends.

This sub stands out on Reddit for me, but I have no idea where it's content comes from. I actually found it via a Digg RSS link...

So I remain largely a lurker.

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.

Do comments count? You're welcome.

[–] s_v@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I used to be a 99% lurker back during reddit era but I do comment on lemmy if that counts.

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

[–] Striker7@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] G234323@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

The rule is always true

[–] lauro@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I never post, but I do comment.

[–] Pog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Honestly, I wish the lemmy apps were more geared to allow people to lurk rather than having everyone sign up to view content. I'm a lurker who shares posts with people outside of lemmy.

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

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else
