I used to post a lot of comments on Reddit, but never anywhere else.
I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else
Lurker.
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 dont want to lurk but english is not my native langage so my sentences looks weird when i dont use a translator
Just keep commenting, there are so many people here who aren't native English speakers. As long as it's somewhat understandable, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes. You'll get better over time.
The most important thing I learned on reddit is English. And the funny thing is, once you can write in English, you'll also be able to speak much better because you're not constantly looking for words.
That's the way you learn a language. Don't worry, there are no grammar nazis around here.
Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.
Mostly Lurking as I try and learn the new space, as I get more comfortable I plan on engaging more with the community
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'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.
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.

Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.
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.
I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.
I used to be a lurker. People can change.
A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.
Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong
Previously on Reddit, I would read posts for the comments but without good posts you won't generate good comments. Even on Lemmy, when I see a post with lots of comments - it's more attractive than a post with two comments. Though now on Lemmy, I feel more encouraged to leave a comment here or there.

For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.

Why you gotta call me out like that? :D
Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)
