Honestly a lot of it is probably people getting comfortable lurking again, Lemmy only counts post and comments as active users

[-] EmoBean@lemmy.world 134 points 11 months ago

So glad I decided to stop lurking and actually start participating right as the whole fediverse dies out, it's not just lemmy.

[-] Szymon@lemmy.ca 93 points 11 months ago

I find it more comfortable to contribute to Lemmy than to other sites. There seems to be actual discussion and opportunities to learn, which can be much harder to come across on the other platforms.

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago

And fewer comments that are clearly a chat bot.

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 months ago

Don't worry! They've just become less obvious.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 10 points 11 months ago

When you come across a ‘user’ that almost exclusively defends one controversial politician/company/government and all of their comments seem to follow a script. Also the account is either brand new or 5 years old but only started posting recently.

[-] bighatchester@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

That I agree with. I don't post often but when I do it's always very positive and makes me want to post more . Compared to Reddit where it would have alot more negative comments or would just get removed by the mods for some stupid reason. Did you know you can no longer post on r/buildapc about asking for suggestions on building PC's ? What's even the point anymore?

Yeah it's like a sub for a specific narrow purpose then people get buthurt about how people are always making the same posts over and over. So they turn it in to a wiki to "address repetitive spam" or whatever, so at that point you might as well just refer to one of the hundreds of other build lists found on other reputable sites. A lot of the productive hobby subs turn in to "hey check out my [reddit hyped product]!" and people actually posting things they've put effort in get little to no attention.

[-] Kaliax@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

Definitely trying to interact more, Lemmy is a gift imo.

[-] maniajack@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I feel like mastodon is doing alright.

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

The fediverse is not dying out, don't be dramatic.

[-] notsofunnycomment@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

For me Mastodon is still growing and getting more interesting, with more and more formal institutions joining (newspapers, NGOs, government institutions etc.).

[-] Elon_Moschus@feddit.de 25 points 11 months ago

Commenting so I‘m active :)

[-] Selkie@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

I don't know how long it counts it for, but I try to remember to comment something like once every two weeks or something

[-] Elon_Moschus@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

that‘s a good idea. I will copy your „way of lemmy“.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I take a break over the weekend. If I comment, I need to check the client every hour or so. I don't want replies/rebuttals to linger without a response if it is warranted. I need to work on my car projects and can't be bothered with online interactions whilst doing so.

[-] SheDiceToday@eslemmy.es 3 points 11 months ago

That's probably the one thing I like about lemmy that surprised me when compared to reddit. I've found myself commenting on posts or to replying to comments days after the initial posts, and no one seems bothered by it.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, TTL is longer here. Deffo more casual.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 16 points 11 months ago

I'm doing my part!

[-] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

Me no lurk. Me comment.

[-] justtobbi@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago

My comment to stop the lurk

[-] scifu@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Ok I am guilty of that. What about votes? Are they not counted as activity?

I’ll try to post atleast one comment every now and then.

[-] Emptiness@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago

Well in that case, ping!

[-] margaritox@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Well, as they say: “I’m going my part”.

I try to make it a point to post questions on communities that have not kicked off yet, knowing that I most likely will not receive a response for a while.

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's probably the case.

[-] danteog@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago
[-] alien@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Well count me in now

[-] Prometheus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Time to count me back in!
