On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
I’ve become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
Trying. Lemmy needs content and commenters are a big part of Reddit.
I’ve been on that grind too 💪. Mostly because work has been really slow so I have nothing better to do.
Same. Been trying to comment as much as I feel comfortable and post in a community or two to get the conversations going
I’m trying to. I’m so used to lurking on Reddit that I forget to actually comment here. Working on it, though.
Same here, like early last decade.
Don’t have as many rules about how to post here and new posts don’t get caught up with needing to be approved.

No, I still remain a lousy human
Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it’s always nice to be part of a growing community.
You feel like you’re actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.
There’s a common understanding that if you want more activity you need more activity to attract more people. Its a feedback loop that requires engagement. We lurkers know that the best way to help Lemmy grow to a critical mass is to temporarily become active for the sake of fucking over reddit.
This is pretty much me. But you never know, I may stay a non lurker!
What’s a cool community you’ve found here?
Talk to me non lurker!Umm… that would depend on your definition of “cool” I suppose. But I found a fountain pen community that I’m very glad exists here! !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu
Hell yeah, that is cool. Thanks!
Oh my, that is me 😂
Ah now that I finally figured out how to comment maybe I can join this trend
Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.
That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
I’m having trouble because a lot of my usual interests haven’t really made it here yet, and I don’t have the time to be responsible for starting any communities
yeah I’ve experienced quite the opposite from OP, I notice quite some traffic at the classic reddit-like communities but if i want to talk about some specific topic the subscriber count still seems <100 (example, /c/bready has 334 subscribers
I don’t really feel like creating a community for a topic I enjoy which I already see gaining little to no traffic
I guess most people flock to what they already know à la, showerthoughts AITA YSK etc
to me the current state of the feddiverse feels like a circlejerk of people who complain about reddit and praise lemmy over reddit instead of actually submitting engaging content whereas we coul… wait I’m doing it too now!
Always felt unwelcome posting anything on reddit. Lemmy is new enough and filled with people who are nice enough to make feel like I wont get yelled at for commenting or posting.
I feel the same way
Pretty much how I feel. It’s like the worst of Reddit stayed behind and were the settlers setting off to build a new world.

I can yell at you if you miss the reddit experience. $10 tip required or exposure on a 10mil blog
For 8.99 I’ll tell you why a mistake in your comment means you’re the dumbest person alive.
Yep, I feel more comfortable interacting here than on reddit, maybe it’s because of the way less toxicity here.
