I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I'd say that I'm personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.

I've been very post-y and very commentish since I got here. I did most of the posting in the sub I modded on reddit, and it's the same over here. I guess it would be fair to say I've been equally engaged on both platforms. (I'm only posting here now, tho.)
I used to post a lot of comments on Reddit, but never anywhere else.
I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else
I mean think of Hollywood or sports. Most people don't do those things but they do consume it.
I'd say I do a fair amount of lurking. I participated a lot more on Reddit, but I'm just trying to get a feel for the scene.
Mostly Lurking as I try and learn the new space, as I get more comfortable I plan on engaging more with the community
Yeah I suck. And the content that I used to provide on Reddit that I thought was valuable to share was just nitpicked into oblivion. It really was a toxic place.
i'm sorry to hear that; have you found lemmy more friendly and welcoming?
I try to contribute by honestly I just have nothing to say most of the time lol
The rule is always true
I'm like 70/30 lurker to contributor I think, same deal as before I jumped ship.
I'm definitely making more of a concerted effort to interact at the minute, though, to help with numbers and so on.
I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.
Lurker.
i dont want to lurk but english is not my native langage so my sentences looks weird when i dont use a translator
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!
I used to be a lurker. People can change.
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.
Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.
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.
