Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

    I’m to tired to make quality posts. Props to the people that can do that every day. Best I got is a few mildly opinionated comments.

      Even lurkers are still part of the community.

      I started out looking for an exact replacement for Reddit (where I mostly lurk). Initially I thought the lack of content and traffic on Lemmy was a bad thing, but I now see it as early days of a community and lack of content means I have a chance to make a post or comment that is valued and gets engagement from other users. Reddit was so mature that anything I wanted to post was either already there, not welcome or buried under an ocean of other content/comments. If you use both you could even find good content on Reddit to crosspost on Lemmy.

      It’s quite nice being part of a small community now. Even just an up/down vote from you will be worth more here. It’s great.

      I try to comment when I can. Even if it’s not insightful. A small compliment keeps a community going.

      Thanks for pointing that out! High quality content takes time to craft. It’s being skilled and/or knowledgable, being able to convey that across on a digital platform (where basically everyone’s anonymous and of unknown backgrounds), and being engaging while you’re at it. It definitely can be demanding for some.
