I'm trying to comment more but posting... lol I probably don't have that much to contribute.

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 wonder how this rule compares to real life interactions between people. Imagine having a conversation with someone and noticing 200 people watching from behind a nearby hedge.

Was always a lurker on Reddit, now I’m an instance admin lol so I sort of have to comment and post often.

It feels way more a community on Lemmy though so I’m much more active than I ever was on Reddit I love it!

I participate where I feel I'll be of value in some way, lurk when something is interesting but I have nothing to add to the conversation and very rarely create

Contributor and participator, but struggling to find niche's

Nine-nine !

I feel much more motivated to comment compared to post.

I think the 1% rule is true of large communities, but less so with small ones. It takes effort to find and join Lemmy, Mastodon and others, and use them, so only the most enthusiastic join at first. As it grows, the 1% rule will be even more apparent.

I'm still trying to figure out where I can post things

Not yet and as the early adopters we should contribute as much as we can while at the same time being careful not to post low quality or repetitive things.

The platform will naturally mature if it is fit to do so.

Yeah I got nothing interesting to contribute and very early do. I don't shut up with comments though and uplemmy frequently, so I can at least encourage others!

I just comment. I'm not a creator. I also don't appreciate people reposting stale content. It was so obnoxious on Reddit. So I don't want to be one of those posters either.

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

I mean...creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.

Lurker here. I burrow underground and shoot out spines for AOE damage. Great at choke points and nearly invincible when working under a dark swarm.

I don't know if everyone here knows this rule but I'm 100% sure Steve Huffman doesn't

Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.

Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.

Commenting a lot more here like I used to in forum days. Most of the threads I read I post in.

I tried to make a post yesterday but it stalled out.

The reason I comment more now is because I want to participate and I'm taking 'the internet' less seriously. This isn't real life.

There's some irony in all the comments that participate in this thread by posting "lurker"

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.

Since leaving Reddit definitely more participation. Even started some communities; a thing I never really cared for doing, but seems more appropriate and rewarding here!

What's the percent that comments?

Do comments count as content? If not, I think that percentage is a bit flawed, because I've read cool discussions here
