Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
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.
Still a lurker tbh, aside from this comment
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.
Are upvotes and downvotes federated?
Yes. Not always successfully atm, but they are supposed to sync across all servers.
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.
Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for mentioning it, TIL. I'm glad so many others are also trying their best to be active like this, I'm really optimistic so far about the community building around here if folks keep this up.
Hey, I see you not lurking there 👀
Same. I see myself commenting a little more here (and posting my cat to various cat related instances), but mostly I’ll be reading and upvoting/downvoting.
lol semi-lurking here as well. good comment tho
Same here - but I really want to try to be more active. We‘ll see.
