1% rule: 1% of users actively create new content, while the other 99% only lurk. - eviltoast

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 was like that on Reddit, but that was partly because it’s SO heavily trafficked and there are so many comments within any given post that you either have to be in at the start or make a popular post to have any effect upon discussion. And by “discussion” I mean more using a loudspeaker: there’s little meaningful back and forth, just presentations.

    Smaller communities allow for more forum-like interaction.

      There were even those graphs showing the common times posts that stay at the top were written for different subreddits, but it was usually the time people were waking up in the US.
