uh, no. If we’re all lurkers then there’ll be no content here
Not true. I’ve been participating here.
-
A lot of lurkers from Reddit, myself included, actually don’t lurk on Lemmy.
-
Lemmy will only improve if the lurkers stopped lurking.
The lurking will continue until content improves
Ok fine i’ll stop lurking
But how will the content improve when the lurking continues?
Because the content will just devolve to shitposting, as god intended.
We be mirelurking

Is this sarcasm?
No, it’s a butterfly.
I was a lurker on reddit, but I’m commenting a lot more here. I want to help Lemmy grow.
I’m also MUCH more active on Lemmy, especially because the community is currently so non-toxic and it (mostly) feels so welcoming and warm
I love everyone posting about lurking
I think it’s because we know we need to post, but also know we have nothing constructive to add to most things we’re looking at. It’s like people replying all to a birthday email at the office.
Everyone has something interesting to share. I believe in you!

Never not post.
Neither of these extremes fit. Huh
I’ve actually felt like contributing here. It’s been 11 years on reddit for me and I made 5 posts and a handful of comments in that time.
I commented on reddit a lot but I do feel the need to be more involved here because I want to help build up the community. That said, I do want to be more careful about how I use my account. Avoid getting into discourse when I can, try not to argue with people as much.
I feel like I can be healthier on Lemmy if I go into it with a different mindset, and without Reddit’s dogshit algorithm, it might make it easier.
Same, created a account never posted on reddit. Here it fell more meaning full.
I used that powerdelete script last night and turns out I made one singular post on reddit in 9 years of use, when DDLC recently released:
Yeah even though I’m still just as uncomfortable making posts and will only do it if really needed, I have felt much more able to comment on Lemmy.
Hopefully my confidence will continue to improve with time
I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.
Same here. Even subs (instances? communities? still figuring out the lingo, sorry) are so quiet I’m even posting actual posts. Or on news posts, I have a question about the content where on reddit someone will have already asked and I can just see what responses or vitriol they got.
Communities on Lemmy, magazines on Kbin. Fyi 🙂
Came here to say this.
Yeah, the size can be pretty overwhelming
Don’t forget karma whoring, where your comments will be invisible to the algorithm and you seem to talk to an empty wall, while one liners and easy jokes are at the top.
Or someone with the same opinion as yours will start argue with you because you said it in a different way that they don’t agree with.
They wouldn’t “argue” they would correct you.

In Reddit there usually already a comment saying what I think so I would rather just updot, hence I lurk less and comment more here.
I feel more comfortable commenting here
Speak for yourself 😂
I lurked on Reddit for many years. I’ve felt motivated enough to post comments here and hopefully find good content for the growing new communities here.
