Fine.
Yes sir
omelette du fromage
Ok, I won’t lurk. I’ll post some comment.
aaaaaaaaaa
all of the communities i follow are deathly silent, kinda hard to contribute when you have nothing worthwhile to post and nothing you can comment on
Yeah many communities I’m interested in have so little users and even less people who post/comment. Some are inactive for days
I just found out how to comment.
good morning, people
Making assumptions there, bud.
Locks eyes irritability
i ask, what is a lurker?
Someone who reads, but does not post or comment. Someone who's here, but doesn't really participate.
Its ok not to participate though. Better be here than reddit.
no because my opinions are not valued anywhere i go. I will be a lurker on the internet until the majority of humanity chooses kindness, open mindedness, empathy. I doubt i will see that happen. Honestly the internet was a mistake.
Bla bla bla Linux bla bla bla
Bla bla Arch bla the way, bla bla bla... Bla bla bla bla!
Bla bla bla Hyprland is a dyanamic tiling window manager that doesn't sacrifice on the looks blah blah.
Don't forget the new socks that apparently come with it
Talking to people is scary. :(
HELLO NOT LURKING WE JUST HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE THANKS
I used to contribute, but I've mostly stopped even visiting Lemmy because of all the propaganda from places like Lemmy.ml. Totally killed my excitement for it.
Propaganda?
I've not seen anything like that since I've been here. What do they push?
0.0 What are you talking about? I don't see that, and I consider myself pretty active...
This is why blocking instances and defederation
hi
Ok really dumb question (this was an issue for me with Reddit during the before time as well): I seem to only notice threads that have existed for a while, so I normally see something similar to what I would have said already posted as a comment. Should I be using Lemmy differently, to see younger threads?
You get more engagement on Lemmy than on Reddit, even if you don't comment in the first 3h. Probably due to sorting, probably due to lower numbers, but even the silliest comment will get at least a few reactions.
You can really tell it's made by socialists who hate accumulation and want to give everyone a chance.
Lemmy on its web interface has a sorting option called scaled sorting. Which allows to bring up rising threads that are a few hours old.
Note: not all mobile apps have integrated scaled sorting. So you need to do some investigation.

I’m so much better at commenting than posting. I have nothing interesting to post!
Same, but commenting is also a good way to contribute. Oh, uh, hi! o/ /lurks
Well, I know this comment isn't much, but I have to start somewhere, and at least now I cannot be accused of being a lurker!
Just deleted my reddit account.
I'm doing my part, are you?
Some of us have nothing useful to contribute to society. Please don't shame us.
I don't have a unique opinion to post if the thread isn't early enough. And the communities that I can provide expert opinions are basically deserted.
I have nothing to contribute.
Niche communities are still absent, so most of the time Lemmy is just political discussions and Linux memes.
Not interested in any of those
Yeah, I wish there was a more concerted effort to move more communities.
dont tell me what to do. you are not my real father!
I posted because of this post
