Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
I'm finally part of the 1%!
A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.
My first idea was "uh, interesting - why not do a poll for that?"
And then I noticed that would end up in some kind of lurker-paradox🤔
The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅
Mainly a lurker. Hoping the regional sports game-day threads take off here cause that was the majority of my posting.

Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

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

I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.
I hardly ever posted on Reddit but I would comment about as much as here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm posting a bit more.on the kbin.social NYC magazine (aka community). If you like or are interested in NYC, please visit and poat/comment!

I have created the Kia Community. As a owner of the car, it's been awesome to find other owners who can share their knowledge & advice on maintenance & driving the car. Invited others in!
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?"

Do comments count as content? If not, I think that percentage is a bit flawed, because I've read cool discussions here
1% content (posts), 9% comments, and 90% lurkers is how it's broken out
Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)
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.
I don't think I'll ever create content, but I'm happy to try and comment on the stuff you guys create. Thats probably the most I'm capable of.
And only 1% of the 1% contribute meaningful content.
For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.

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

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.
Finally, I'm a one percenter.
