Hey, I posted one whole cat picture. I'm a contributor.

I create stuff but I’m too afraid to share it with people online because no one wants have someone’s YouTube video shoved at them. Except I also tend to write long, pointless comments like this one, so I guess I am a creator.

I don't know if everyone here knows this rule but I'm 100% sure Steve Huffman doesn't

I’ve been a long time lurker on other social media platforms, but I’ve started to try and contribute more since I’d like to see communities I like succeed. Maybe then I can go back to lurking

That's why even the measly drop of 3.5% of Reddit's usage may well be significant. It certainly seems that lots of those 10% were the ones leaving.

Thanks for sharing. I would also be interested if this reflects Lemmy. 1% would be higher than I suggested to be honest.

I am a lurker but I'm getting tired of fediverse meta posts and want to see stuff like I saw in my r3Ddit feed so... Be the change I want to see in the world, I guess?

I participate in discussion, but I rarely start threads.

This is the only 1% that I'm happy to be a part of 💪💪💪💪

I have been way more active on Lemmy than I ever was on "the other place". And I wasn't entirely inactive there either, it was just mostly constrained to niche subs. Here I'm just commenting everywhere and relatively often.

I think right now, there are relatively more creators and contributors. The platform is still pretty new and I think most of us here want to see the platform succeed.

I basically never posted anything back on reddit and I would comment sparingly. I have definitely tried to increase my contribution to help prevent things from being empty.

I have even taken to posting articles in !linux_gaming@lemmy.world, which is now starting to see more contribution from other users, especially after 1 July.

I'm shy

I’m a light participator. I’m looking for a community to call home, but I’m not highly social, so I don’t comment a ton. Maybe once I find the right communities to subscribe to, but for now I mostly browse all looking for new appealing communities, and comment where it might add value.

I'm primarily a lurker. Back on Reddit I'd create posts here and there, but I'd mostly contribute to discussion fairly often. I only had around like 28k karma from comments over the course of 11 years, so I wasn't super prolific by any means.

I miss how big the community was on Reddit at times. I'm still trying to figure Lemmy out. Trying to figure out how to make the instances work on the app can be frustrating, but I really hope to see Lemmy grow into a proper competitor and become more polished and robust. I like it so far, it shows promise.

I am mostly lurking because I need to take the time to better understand the visibility of voting and commenting. Not that I want to be a jerk and get away with it, I've just seen bits and pieces about how user actions are not as obfuscated as they were on reddit, and I want to understand what that means in practice

I‘m a particilurker xD

I'm a lurker naturally but I'm invested in growing the community here so I'm trying to post and comment like crazy

I never post, but I do comment.

I used to be a 99% lurker back during reddit era but I do comment on lemmy if that counts.

I 100% lurk. In fact this is my first comment even though I've been using it since the time that other site started their BS with the api fees.

It's sad I have to state which site I'm talking about when I say "other site started their BS"
