1948

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?

I'm a contributer! I've posted cute puppy pics, a frog I saw, and an example of chatGPT cleaning up OCR text.

Was a lurker before I came to lemmy, trying to change that! I just don't think of things to say.

Hey, I posted one whole cat picture. I'm a contributor.

I’ve been a long time lurker on other social media platforms, but I’ve started to try and contribute more since I’d like to see communities I like succeed. Maybe then I can go back to lurking

This is the only 1% that I'm happy to be a part of 💪💪💪💪

That's why even the measly drop of 3.5% of Reddit's usage may well be significant. It certainly seems that lots of those 10% were the ones leaving.

I don't know if everyone here knows this rule but I'm 100% sure Steve Huffman doesn't

[-] ottk3@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing. I would also be interested if this reflects Lemmy. 1% would be higher than I suggested to be honest.

I think right now, there are relatively more creators and contributors. The platform is still pretty new and I think most of us here want to see the platform succeed.

I basically never posted anything back on reddit and I would comment sparingly. I have definitely tried to increase my contribution to help prevent things from being empty.

I have even taken to posting articles in !linux_gaming@lemmy.world, which is now starting to see more contribution from other users, especially after 1 July.

I am a lurker but I'm getting tired of fediverse meta posts and want to see stuff like I saw in my r3Ddit feed so... Be the change I want to see in the world, I guess?

I have been way more active on Lemmy than I ever was on "the other place". And I wasn't entirely inactive there either, it was just mostly constrained to niche subs. Here I'm just commenting everywhere and relatively often.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

I’m a light participator. I’m looking for a community to call home, but I’m not highly social, so I don’t comment a ton. Maybe once I find the right communities to subscribe to, but for now I mostly browse all looking for new appealing communities, and comment where it might add value.

I participate in discussion, but I rarely start threads.

[-] jannis@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

It depends on the platform. For YouTube that's definitely true, but not for Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, Lemmy or Threads. If It's easier to create content for those platforms, users will create content for those platforms.

I‘m a particilurker xD

[-] Lordran_Hollow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm primarily a lurker. Back on Reddit I'd create posts here and there, but I'd mostly contribute to discussion fairly often. I only had around like 28k karma from comments over the course of 11 years, so I wasn't super prolific by any means.

I miss how big the community was on Reddit at times. I'm still trying to figure Lemmy out. Trying to figure out how to make the instances work on the app can be frustrating, but I really hope to see Lemmy grow into a proper competitor and become more polished and robust. I like it so far, it shows promise.

Never been called out like this. Oh well. I think I'm still a lurker unless I'm called out.

[-] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm a lurker naturally but I'm invested in growing the community here so I'm trying to post and comment like crazy

[-] lauro@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I never post, but I do comment.

[-] s_v@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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