a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?
I’m a lurker, but I’m going to try to participation more.

I have been posting and commenting a LOT more than I ever did on Reddit. Some small part of that is a desire to grow the platform and my communities.
I’ve commented more here than I did the past 9 years on Reddit. I also created Watch Party, where people can watch a movie together and discuss it in a live thread, similar to sporting events. Starship Troopers was the proof of concept, and it was a fun time. I’m hoping it’ll gain some more traction in the coming months and encourage anyone to check out the pinned “Getting Started” post if you’re interested in hosting a watch party as well.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !watch_party@lemmy.world
Good bot.
Also: Good! Bots! This is the first one I’ve seen.
Good bot.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world are there good bots?
Absolutely! There are many bots designed to provide useful services and improve the functionality of online communities. Some bots can help moderate content, others can help handle community engagement, and some even provide educational content or useful information related to specific topics. However, they have no personal agenda or feelings as they operate based on the algorithms and instructions given in their programming. Hence, whether a bot is good or bad can often be subjective and based on the way they’re programmed and used in the community.
Fun idea! Would love to participate at some point if the timing works out.
cool idea! reminds me of MSTK3, maybe with less sarcasm ;)
I love live sport threads, I’ll try and catch a movie thread sometime
I fucking love that show, I spent a lot of late nights as a kid cracking up to their commentary. There’s a MST3K channel on Pluto.tv that’s got a decent selection of reruns.
haha yeah its great
I actually posted about that channel over on !90s_tv@lemmy.sdf.org earlier this week!
I love that your maiden voyeurage was Starship Troopers
Same
Time to contribute to a platform that I can believe in.
Me too, keep it up 🤘
Same here.
Same here. Been trying to find interesting content I can contribute to help the community. On Reddit it was all about finding someone who already said what I was going to say and upvoting or commenting.
Full time lurker. Part time commenter. No time creator.
Same here, I think I posted like two things in my 15 years of Reddit to ask a question but I did comment now and then. I imagine it’ll be similar on Lemmy, as much as it needs content I got nothing to really add.
Content for the sake of content is pretty bad too, so don’t force yourself. Conversely, you also don’t have to force yourself to be silent (which other people and I felt on Reddit).

My favourite sub to comment has not made the move, come on boxing fans, mainly lurk on most posts
click “Create Community” 😁
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I already have! Come join us in !ultralight@lemmy.world 🤓
Same here, I’ve not created one post here, but I’ve made a lot of comments.
Engagement is not a bad thing. Some creators need the dopamine hit of feedback. As an infrequent poster of super niche nature, I relate intensely. I just don’t have any current written or spoken content to put out right now.
Break the ice, make your first post today 😊
I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
I’m primarily a lurker. I’ve been trying to be better about participating lately because I’d like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.
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.
Lol same, I don’t have any AITA/relationship advice/TIFU stories ready to go. I don’t make enough waves to post to most things. I was actually trying to think of questions for asklemmy because it’s all a bit dead but I don’t want to know anything! XD
Then ask about that! “How do I cultivate a better sense of curiosity?” or even “Ask Lemmy, what should I ask?”
quite a meta way of asking a question don’t you think?
can you think of a better way of addressing the situation?
“Ask Lemmy, is it ok to ask about what kind of questions I should ask? Sorry if this question breaks any rules or is too political.”
Nothing wrong with a “boring” life either. If anything, a “boring” life is probably a good thing lol.
Yup, boring lives are a goal to strive for in our world. That means financial stability with not many serious issues going on.
Goddamn I want my life to be as boring as possible.
Sometimes I think about posting pictures of our cats in a cat subreddit, but that’s too much for me.
That was about the extent for me. Made one post on a less common cat sub. Got more attention than I anticipated and never posted again. Lol
It’s ok to have a boring life, I think it’s worth examining why that is felt to be as issue. we’ve been so conditioned by social media to project otherwise
To be fair, I don’t necessarily feel poorly about it being a boring life. I just don’t feel that it would be enough interest to others to share. And then the private side of me refuses to as well. Lol
Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.
Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.
Lurkers by definition have no impact, besides their potential to eventually become a creator/participant. Having a high ratio of voters/commenters to creators is more important to surface quality content.
On super meth, we would’ve needed volunteers to TL:DR; everything. On /r/stims, the comment section tends to be quite lengthy
I’m a lurker. Because idk what to say most of the time
Is this a trick to get lurkers to post? lol I post occasionally but mostly lurk

I’m a lurker until I get called out like this
Now I feel the urge to comment
And now I feel the urge to reply to this comment.
And my… Comment!
And my ads
Wait they don’t do that here :)
The best thing about comments is that they draw pretty coloured nesting lines.
On the left…
6/8 colours used so far.
Let’s keep it going
Thank Vishnu
Meh
