Contributor and participator, but struggling to find niche's

I feel much more motivated to comment compared to post.

I'd say I do a fair amount of lurking. I participated a lot more on Reddit, but I'm just trying to get a feel for the scene.

I mean think of Hollywood or sports. Most people don't do those things but they do consume it.

I used to post a lot of comments on Reddit, but never anywhere else.

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

I'm like 70/30 lurker to contributor I think, same deal as before I jumped ship.

I'm definitely making more of a concerted effort to interact at the minute, though, to help with numbers and so on.

Lurker.

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

Mostly Lurking as I try and learn the new space, as I get more comfortable I plan on engaging more with the community

i dont want to lurk but english is not my native langage so my sentences looks weird when i dont use a translator

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

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.

Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.

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

I try to contribute by honestly I just have nothing to say most of the time lol

I posted carrots

Yeah I suck. And the content that I used to provide on Reddit that I thought was valuable to share was just nitpicked into oblivion. It really was a toxic place.

Since leaving Reddit definitely more participation. Even started some communities; a thing I never really cared for doing, but seems more appropriate and rewarding here!

The rule is always true

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

I would be really curious if this was the case prior to the advent of smartphones. Was the ratio the same on early USENET or BBS? It’s so much easier to lurk than participate from a smartphone keyboard.

I'd say partway between participator and lurker. Sometimes I just don't really have a lot to say.

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.
