Honestly a lot of it is probably people getting comfortable lurking again, Lemmy only counts post and comments as active users
So glad I decided to stop lurking and actually start participating right as the whole fediverse dies out, it's not just lemmy.
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.
And fewer comments that are clearly a chat bot.
Don't worry! They've just become less obvious.
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.
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.
Definitely trying to interact more, Lemmy is a gift imo.
I feel like mastodon is doing alright.
The fediverse is not dying out, don't be dramatic.
For me Mastodon is still growing and getting more interesting, with more and more formal institutions joining (newspapers, NGOs, government institutions etc.).
Time to step out of the shadows then 🤭
I'm doing my part!
Hello
Yo
Commenting so I‘m active :)
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
that‘s a good idea. I will copy your „way of lemmy“.
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.
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.
Yes, TTL is longer here. Deffo more casual.
I'm doing my part!
Me no lurk. Me comment.
My comment to stop the lurk
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.
Well in that case, ping!
Yeah, that's probably the case.
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.
Really? Oh
Well count me in now
Time to count me back in!
