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?

      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).

        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.
