On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

      We need you, too. As long as you’re upvoting and downvoting, you’re helping curate content.

        Yeah, they’re actually the backbone of the community. We’re not the power that keeps the trolls at bay, they are.

        Plus lemmy only counts users who have posted or commented as an active user. So making at least one comment is helpful to gain traction.

    Yeah, but I’m still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody’s gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that’s our job.

    Normally I’m more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I’ve seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.

    definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
