We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.
I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀
I heard it’s something like 90% of people lurk, 10% of people comment, 1% of people post. So you need a pretty substantial population just to have enough posts and comments for the lurkers to still hang around.
It’s also why it was particularly dumb of Reddit to piss off their 1% and 10%.
Yep, I’m part of the problem. Was super active on Reddit, dumped them, then just don’t really have the energy of fucks anymore to create content or comment really; it’s a shame…
When I was a kid in the 70s, a lurker was a turd that had failed to flush away properly. As in : “Dad left a big beefy lurker in the toilet again.” How language changes.
It’s just a bad habit for me really. I’m so used to reddit immediately slaughtering anyone who doesn’t conform with the hivemind even though Lemmy isn’t like that
Where they at tho?

I think a lot of the refugees from Reddit are lurkers.

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

I think it still means that too

You just described me.
Lemmy is only 4% of the fediverse by user %. Most of the fediverse is Mastodon.
I don’t mind the idea of seeing the same user around. Feels more community centered
To me that line appears to be heading up. I just joined a few days ago!
Welcome!
Isn’t the stat that like 95% of users only lurk? You’re measuring this by posters, not users, if you’re going by who you see post and comment.
Shut up jerk. I’m very welcoming to new users. Old users on the other hand…
I’m just kind of over social media. I gave this a try but I realised* I’m *the problem, not Reddit
