Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.

Lurker.

I mean...creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.

I lead a mostly boring life. And the interesting parts would invade more privacy more than I care to expose. I'd love to post content. But I know better than to let too much of myself out. I already expose too much as is, but it can be worse. And nothing good comes from that.

I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.

Commenting a lot more here like I used to in forum days. Most of the threads I read I post in.

I tried to make a post yesterday but it stalled out.

The reason I comment more now is because I want to participate and I'm taking 'the internet' less seriously. This isn't real life.

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.

I am a big part a lurker, but I also create content sometimes

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 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.

For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.

Why you gotta call me out like that? :D

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

Finally, I'm a one percenter.

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?"

Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong
