More people are still in the lurking stage of their lemmy evolution.
That’s why I’m being a lil chatty boi here. Pretend I said something clever
Ha ha ha, really? Wow, you're fascinating!
What I also noticed is that most posts are fresh and the comments are like 5m old, even though I'm not sorting by new. We're not used to that coming from reddit
To shreds, you say?
And his wife?
To shreds, you say?
Me too! Now, instead of just thinking dumb questions, I actually ask them.
I think I comment quite a lot but rarely post. does that count as lurking?
This is a comment. Engage with it.
You can’t make me.
Engage with deez nuts
peepee poopoo
Oooh baby I'm engaging! Look out!!!!
Ok, number one. Engage!
I already engaged
Thrusters engaged
The best part is adding that first comment and seeing it explode after.
(Explode being a very very relative term in this case 😜)

It wasn’t a first (or even early) comment, I’m just encouraging participation on undiscovered posts. It’s super rewarding to ask a simple question and have engaging conversation unfold around you on a post that might otherwise die.
They don’t get hot if we don’t comment!
I was more of a lurker for much of my time on Reddit but I find myself commenting and upvoting a lot more here because I genuinely want to contribute. I should probably just sack up and start actively posting on the few small communities I'd like to see grow tbh
I should also post but there’s a lot more involved in that. You post your own photos, best strip the metadata. Probably from anything you make originally actually.
I don’t mind that people don’t contribute top-level content, as long as they engage with it when it comes up. That encourages the people who do want to create, and gives those on the fence more of comfort doing so, because they aren’t alone.
If it’s a small community, it’s well worth the metadata strip, though!
I like to sort by new and give the poster a boost when I can, the comments really do make all the difference right now. I’m not a content creator though.. but I’m sure the engagement gives them validation as well!

Nah. U first!
Sorry, this is entirely my fault.
I missed the comment count at first and thought he was mad about the external link.
