I think because it's a rather new platform for many people, they behave differently. Some are getting used to Lemmy and are not posting as much, while some are more enthusiastic.
Overall I'd say it will be pretty much the same in the long run

MODERATORS
Variants include the 1–9–90 rule (sometimes 90–9–1 principle or the 89:10:1 ratio),[1] which states that in a collaborative website such as a wiki, 90% of the participants of a community only consume content, 9% of the participants change or update content, and 1% of the participants add content.
I've heard mods say it's like that on Reddit: 1% create posts, 9% comment on posts, and the rest lurk. Many people have suggested that the people most likely to leave Reddit because of the recent issues are in that 10% of posters and commentators.

yes, this is my question! i feel like it is creators/participators are the most likely to see the red flags early and do something about it.
Not only that, but the website or app might be fine if all you do is scroll through posts occasionally. If you're on the site a lot and really active in creating content, it's a lot less adequate.
The new Reddit site was awful if you like browsing and making comments. It really made it apparent that they didn't want people spending their time doing that and just wanted you to move on to the next post.
For me, the discussion was the whole point of a site like Reddit. I'd get disappointed after clicking and reading an article from another source and realized there was no comment thread to look at because I didn't get there from Reddit because I always looked forward to the high quality and insightful things people had to say about it (which was kinda sarcastic regarding Reddit, though there were certainly gemstones in the rough, but might work here).
Oh and I guess that shows that I'm not really a "creator" since I just realized I could have posted those articles myself to the site if they weren't already there. 🤷
Yeah, in similar to you. In all honesty, I was also a little disappointed when I saw an interesting article posted on Reddit that I had an opinion on, but there were already thousands of comments. I always figured no one would ever get to mine, so there was no point in making one.
I also wasn't much for posting new content, but I've been trying to do that some here to help things grow.
There was a trick to replying to an already popular post, which basically involved picking a comment where replies to that comment were still visible instead of buried behind a button.
Then just keep your comment relevant and try to add something with it. And don't be an asshole, or if you can't manage that, at least try to be a popular kind of asshole, while keeping in mind that what is popular can vary from community to community.
Yeah, I did that some, but I always felt weird posting a comment without checking to see if someone else already said it, and I wasn't going to read 1000 comments.
I was def a lurker on reddit. Here I have been trying to post and comment where I can. I don't create art or anything like that, so my submission are mostly memes, discussions in niche instances, and a news article here and there.

Similar thing with me. I wasn’t strictly a lurker, but I also never created a sub, for example — everything already kinda existed.
Here, I’ve started several communities and am trying to grow those. Plus it sometimes feels like it’s up to me to post/comment stuff that would’ve been already on Reddit by the time I got there.
And for now at least, I like kbin’s vibe better than whichever one Reddit had for the past few years. So we’ll see how it goes :)
I posted links on Reddit like 5-10 years ago... Then the power mods showed up, nuked my links for some obscure rule violation, then allowed someone else reposted them minutes later.
I gave up.

I am a lurker but I'm getting tired of fediverse meta posts and want to see stuff like I saw in my r3Ddit feed so... Be the change I want to see in the world, I guess?

yes! post something today :)
I'd wager early adopters tend to be more active. Probably it has something to do with the size of the community too, you don't feel like you're being drown in the noice and most people don't have that "I need my voice to be heard" impulse (I have to be fair) which drives people to actively participate in something like Reddit-size when they don't have anything particularly insightful to say.

The real lurkers don't even register.
