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

I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.
Mostly a creator, back when I used Twitter and Facebook I used it as a write only medium. On the fediverse I try to read some stuff also and participate by commenting and voting.
Mostly a lurker. Can't think of things that I want to post, yet I love every piece of information that Lemmy (or better said, lemmings) offers. Will try to change that, at least through comments

I'd say partway between participator and lurker. Sometimes I just don't really have a lot to say.

So what is considered lurking? Commenting once in a blue moon or just not commenting anything whatsoever?

Mainly a lurker. Hoping the regional sports game-day threads take off here cause that was the majority of my posting.

Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.
I'm a lurker doing a little posting/commenting to "be the change I want to see" so to speak. If lemmy gets bigger, I will likely return to my lurker ways.

Mostly lurk unless the discussion is something I feel I can add real value to with my own experiences\expertise. Likely 1 comment per year, like this one. Plus I don't vote on posts or comments.

first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.
I would be really curious if this was the case prior to the advent of smartphones. Was the ratio the same on early USENET or BBS? It’s so much easier to lurk than participate from a smartphone keyboard.
The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅
Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

This isn't the 1% rule I've heard of 😂
Was a lurker before I came to lemmy, trying to change that! I just don't think of things to say.
