Comment on Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users

  Even lurkers are still part of a community.

  I started out looking for an exact replacement for Reddit (where I mostly lurk). Initially I thought the lack of content and traffic on Lemmy was a bad thing, but I now see it as early days of a community and lack of content means I have a chance to make a post or comment that is valued and gets engagement from other users. Reddit was so mature that anything I wanted to post was either already there, not welcome or buried under an ocean of other content/comments. If you use both you could even find good content on Reddit to crosspost on Lemmy.

  It’s quite nice being part of a small community now.

    I used to be a reddit lurker. I would go into a thread for a post and look for the thing I would have posted, and upvote it.

    I can’t do this on Lemmy, I actually have to write stuff now I guess, otherwise it doesn’t show up. I don’t like it.

    Feels weird man.

      can you exoskeleton this one for me? I don’t get it.

      (autocorrect, just guess what that word was supposed to be)

  I try to comment when I can. Even if it’s not insightful. A small compliment keeps a community going.

    Hell small compliments keep people going let alone an abstract sense of community

  I’m to tired to make quality posts.

  There’s room for shitty posts too. 🫂

  Thanks for pointing that out! High quality content takes time to craft. It’s being skilled and/or knowledgable, being able to convey that across on a digital platform (where basically everyone’s anonymous and of unknown backgrounds), and being engaging while you’re at it. It definitely can be demanding for some.
