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.
Full time lurker. Part time commenter. No time creator.
I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
me too!

And thats still important
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.
Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.
The best thing that any of us can do by far is vote. Even moderately adhering to reddiquette (is there a lemmiquette?) really does improve the community.
Unfortunately on lemmy your vote history is accessible to any admin of any server in the federation. Really hope that’s changed sometime soon.
I don’t think disguising votes will ever happen, by nature of the protocol. Everything on Lemmy has to be verifiable. If votes are anonymous, you can have federated servers that run bots just to flood upvotes and you’d have no way to prove that the vote is unique. The transparency is a feature, not a bug.
Personally I’m a fan. On Reddit, your upvotes were logged as well, but they were only visible to the admins. Here, there’s way more admins. So just be careful when upvoting your unicorn bukake fetishes if you’re embarrassed about it.
Then why close it to admins? Just make vote history public, period. And make it very clear that everyone can see it.
The biggest problem that I have with it currently is that the vast, vast majority of lemmy users, whether it continues to grow or not, will not know about it. And many of them will use usernames that are identifiable, thinking that as long as they don’t say anything controversial, they can’t get into hot water with their govt/church/family/whatever.

Sorry but this is just trying to trivialize a very real issue. If this is ever going to be a place for serious discussion and not just memes, puns, and repetitive jokes, then we shouldn’t dismiss real privacy concerns by acting like anyone who has them is just embarrassed of their silly fetish.
Same here. Been on lemmy for a week and this is my first comment so far.
Post music you listen to on !jukebox@sh.itjust.works
One of the main reasons I never posted on Reddit was that it always seemed like everything I would want to post was already posted. I’ve made one or two posts here already since the communities are so small/new that things haven’t been posted yet.
This definitely feels like it’s a part of it, 100%. The feeling that you have to force yourself to be unique on Reddit because of how saturated it was.
Same unfortunately, although I aspire to have more to share
I’m a lurker. Because idk what to say most of the time
Haha, same thing here. Also I think it’s not necessary to write something that is already written in three other comments. So I just upvote.
Worked out ok this time 😀
Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.
Is this a trick to get lurkers to post? lol I post occasionally but mostly lurk
yes it is, did it work?
