MODERATORS
Mostly lurk unless the discussion is something I feel I can add real value to with my own experiences\expertise. Likely 1 comment per year, like this one. Plus I don't vote on posts or comments.

I don't think I'll ever create content, but I'm happy to try and comment on the stuff you guys create. Thats probably the most I'm capable of.
I tend not to post often but I like to comment.
I have created the Kia Community. As a owner of the car, it's been awesome to find other owners who can share their knowledge & advice on maintenance & driving the car. Invited others in!
I'd say partway between participator and lurker. Sometimes I just don't really have a lot to say.

It's Zipf's law, there's no reason to think Lemmy follows a different distribution.

I would be really curious if this was the case prior to the advent of smartphones. Was the ratio the same on early USENET or BBS? It’s so much easier to lurk than participate from a smartphone keyboard.
Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

I am a big part a lurker, but I also create content sometimes
The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.
My first idea was "uh, interesting - why not do a poll for that?"
And then I noticed that would end up in some kind of lurker-paradox🤔
The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅
I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.
first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.
Mostly a creator, back when I used Twitter and Facebook I used it as a write only medium. On the fediverse I try to read some stuff also and participate by commenting and voting.
And only 1% of the 1% contribute meaningful content.
Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
OK, I won't lie, I hear this all the time but I'm not convinced it's true.
Are there any real statistics on it which account for bit accounts? Like, if reddit claimed that 99% of its users don't make content, my immediate thought would be "how many users are real people and how many are bots?"

I'm finally part of the 1%!
I hardly ever posted on Reddit but I would comment about as much as here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm posting a bit more.on the kbin.social NYC magazine (aka community). If you like or are interested in NYC, please visit and poat/comment!
