Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I think it's pretty normal for the people who post and comment to be only a small portion of the total users. Many more will be voting but otherwise lurking.

The active users will also include people who aren't subscribed but just stumbled upon a post in the All feed.

Yea, I'm one of those who mostly lurks.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 months ago

Well feel free to check in and say hi from time to time, we generally don't bite 🙂

Lemmy doesn't have much in the way of tracking users, so if you don't speak up we won't know you're here!

Lurking is of course fine too.

I'll see what I can do. I'm generally the same on reddit too.

Although sometimes the political posts get to me and I need to vent......

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 months ago

Haha I get the needing to vent. I do try to post nonpolitical stuff as with the politics in the world at the moment the political content can easily outnumber the rest and that's not particularly helpful for mental health.

[-] DevotedOtter@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Oh definitely. I just deleted the reddit app from my phone, following all the major other socials. So now if I want to, I have to log in on a browser.

I have the same instances followed here as reddit, but it seems much better for my mental health some how
