I am mostly lurking because I need to take the time to better understand the visibility of voting and commenting. Not that I want to be a jerk and get away with it, I've just seen bits and pieces about how user actions are not as obfuscated as they were on reddit, and I want to understand what that means in practice

I am the cat in this image.
Can you find the cat? Maybe circle the cat and re-up to a comment to help your Lemmie friends.
This sub stands out on Reddit for me, but I have no idea where it's content comes from. I actually found it via a Digg RSS link...
So I remain largely a lurker.
I'm the 99%. Often I write something in the text field but then decide not to post it because I think it's too dumb or not original enough.
I dont mean to be a lurker but i have nothing interesting to post. All the juicy stuff in my life is stuff that id rather not make pubic.
I create stuff but I’m too afraid to share it with people online because no one wants have someone’s YouTube video shoved at them. Except I also tend to write long, pointless comments like this one, so I guess I am a creator.
What's your channel?
@aidanamerica — still trying to find a niche (or at least people who want to see me talk about the varied things I’m interested in)
Honestly, I wish the lemmy apps were more geared to allow people to lurk rather than having everyone sign up to view content. I'm a lurker who shares posts with people outside of lemmy.
Which apps are you using? I use Liftoff and have four instances added that I regularly browse, but I'm only logged in to two (because I only have accounts on those two). I haven't had problems browsing or sharing content on the instances I'm not logged into on this app and the links open in browsers just fine without a login wall for people I share with.
You can see content without an account. Unless it's NSFW, I guess.
Someone make a Unreal Engine lemstance and I'll shit post everyday about blueprints being the future of programming and how nanite still doesn't work with translucent materials
I comment am I important now 😭
On Reddit I just made a few comments and posts, mostly a lurker.
Here it's completely different, I have my own magazine, where I put the effort of making a post daily, and it actually feels better than lurking.
I don't post a whole lot but I do comment regularly.
